Estense Castle in Ferrara, Italy
The most iconic building of the town is the imposing Castello Estense: sited in the very centre of the town, it's a brick building surrounded by a moat, with four massive bastions. It was built starting in 1385 and partly restored in 1554; the pavilions on the top of the towers date from the latter year. The ancient City Hall, renovated in the 18th century, was the earlier residence of the Este family.
