A former cathedral of the town.
Saint George's Basilica is a Roman Catholic church in Ferrara, Italy. It is called San Giorgio fuori le mura in Italian, meaning Saint George's "outside the walls" because it was built outside the city walls, while Saint George's Cathedral was within the city walls. It is the oldest church in the city.

The convent church is open to the public. There are some 17th-century ceiling frescos by Andrea Ferreri, also in the side chapels there are some frescoes of the school of Giotto.
Palazzo di Ludovico il Moro
The Museo Archeologico Nazionale (National Archaeological Museum) is here. The collection of the museum mostly consists of various artifacts excavated from Greek and Etruscan tombs.
Museo Schifanoia
It was the only summer residence of Este family inside the city walls. Today the main attraction of the palace is Salone dei Mesi ("Hall of the Months") decorated by pagan cycle frescos representing the months of a year. Unfortunately for a few centuries the frescos were plastered, so only some of them survived.
It is one of the best-preserved Renaissance building in Ferrara.
Villa Marfisa d'Este
It's an example of Renaissance-style villa. The Palazzina was built around 1559 by Francesco d’Este, son of Duke Alfonso I and Lucrezia Borgia.
The Jewish Museum and the Synagogue are in the former ghetto (along the street used to be called Via Sabbioni).
