Barco Tower

Highlight • Monument

The keep is made up of a structure in the shape of a large and low tower, with a total diameter of twenty-one meters and therefore it is the largest in plan among all those built along the fortified perimeter of Ferrara.

Porta degli Angeli

Highlight • Historical Site

It opens in the Rossetti walls at the end of Corso Ercole I d'Este. Born as a watchtower, it was the ancient access to the ducal hunting estate of Barco, located where the "G. Bassani" Urban Park is now located.

Highlight • Historical Site

History
Starting from February 1550, Ercole II d'Este had the Rossettiano Torrione di Francolino transformed into a real residential structure, called Rotonda, exalted in verse precisely in that year by the poet Vincenzo Brusantino.
The Rotonda factory was completely landed in 1616, causing a great architectural, as well as aesthetic-landscape and historical-artistic scarring that remained etched in the memory of eyewitnesses.
Of the ancient complex, only the entrance to the "Ghiacciaia" (set in a small relief of earth) and the curtailed mound remain. virgins since the years of the Herculean Addition of 1492.
