cathedral of san giorgio


The Ferrara Cathedral, dedicated to Saint George, stands as a testament to the architectural evolution from Romanesque to Gothic styles. Its construction began in the 12th century, and it features a striking façade with a blend of white marble and pink-and-white marble on the Renaissance campanile, an unfinished work attributed to Leon Battista Alberti. The cathedral's history is deeply intertwined with the city of Ferrara, reflecting its artistic and cultural journey through the ages.
