Erected in the 12th century, it is dedicated to Saint George, represented in the tympanum of the central portal. The façade is a harmonious synthesis of Romanesque and Gothic styles. On the right flank, the majestic marble bell tower rises, built between 1451 and 1596 according to a design by Leon Battista Alberti. Inside, the baroque style of the 18th century dominates. In the apse, a Last Judgement by Bastianino (a pupil of Michelangelo) who, out of revenge, is said to have sculpted the face of his fiancée among convicts, as she did not wish to marry him!

La cathédrale de Ferrara nous a paru très belle, ce malgré les échauffadages qui recouvrent la façade et les filets qui protègent des chûtes de pierre du toit à l'intérieur. Une grande restauration du monument est prévue dû au tremblement de terre d'y a quelques années.

Facade en restauration pour le moment et filets de sécurité sous le plafond. La cathédrale est en mauvais état en raison des tremblements de terre. Sa restauration intérieure doit commencer fin novembre 2018. Les horaires seront adaptés donc se renseigner à l'avance.
Elle n'en reste pas moins superbe et mérite une visite.
