Ferrara's Via delle Volte is one of Europe's best-preserved medieval streets, distinguished by its unique covered archways (volte) that once connected merchants' homes to their shops—now the iconic symbol of the city's medieval character.
“This curious street is made up of volte, arches or covered passages which joined the houses of the tradespeople to their shops, which have become the emblem of medieval Ferrara.”
