  Ferrara is a city of charm and character and with so many beautiful places to see, the architecture and light, colours and warmth of the people all make this a wonderful experience.

  Beautiful from the outside. Peaceful, feels very large and impressive on the inside. Well preserved. Easy to visit; the front plaza of the Cathedral seems to be the main place in Ferrara for people to congregate and meet.

  A lovely interior which is not hinted at from the outside! Continue past the somewhat plain exterior to a delicious experience inside

  The exterior of the building was splendid but the interior seemed very dark and dull. It had been remodelled to create a baroque interior which was not to my taste.

  A medieval basilica in a medieval city. What's the most striking is the facade, in Romanesque style representing the typical fashional design then as the construction started in the 12th century then, over the next five centuries construction work had been on and on encompassing Gothic and Renaissance remodification then, after a fire in the 18th century, the interior undertook a Baroque style decoration...wow, what a history out of the historical city!

  Very beautiful & impressive outside. The facade is all marble with delicate carvings. Since it was built over 5 centuries the style is mixed: Gothic & Romanesque.I liked the interior as well, it shouldn't be missed.I join the reviewers who ask to open the Italian churches at midday. As a tourist I can't afford myself to wait 3 hours till it opens again in the afternoon. That's why sometimes I don't have another alternative but to give up & just continue my trip, which is a shame.

  Very impressive to turn around with so numerous and nice detailed decorations outside. Unfortunately, the inner atmosphere doesn't reflect the power of the religion of the period in which it was built. Anyway, it's true that our poor judgment is highly influenced by the visit of Rome's St Peter, which presents similar inside architectural details. Sorry, we should have visited this cathedral first...

  Beautiful romanesque facade combined with with large, impressive but dark baroque interiors. Definetely worth to stop for a while.

  We visited the cathedral on the evening of the benediction of the Palii when candles are offered by representatives of the ducal courts of the eight districts. We witnessed the processions arrive at the cathedral (and leave after the mass) composed of knights and ladies, musicians, flagwavers, and men-at-arms, all in medieval costume. It was wonderful to see the imposing cathedral inside all lit up and decorated - and the choir and organist are very good. Afterwards the flag waving and tossing in front of the cathedral (and the next day's flag wavers competition in the parade ground) was an exciting experience
