Palazzo Schifanoia is a Renaissance palace in Ferrara, Emilia-Romagna built for the Este family. The name "Schifanoia" is thought to originate from "schifare la noia" meaning literally to "escape from boredom" which describes accurately the original intention of the palazzo and the other villas in close proximity where the Este court relaxed. The highlights of its decorations are the allegorical frescoes with details in tempera by or after Francesco del Cossa and Cosmè Tura, executed ca 1469–70, a unique survival of their time.
This palace forms part of a catalogue of pleasure palaces for the Este family, including the following:
Delizia di Belriguardo a Voghiera
Delizia del Verginese a Portomaggiore
Castello di Mesola a Mesola
Villa della Mensa a Sabbioncello San Vittore
Delizia di Benvignante ad Argenta, Italy

The Monastery of Corpus Domini is a Roman Catholic monastery situated at 4 via Pergolato in Ferrara. It first was founded as a house of penitent women, and became an Order of Poor Clares Observant Franciscan convent in 1431.
The convent was the home of Saint Catherine of Bologna from 1431 to 1456. She served as the Mother Superior, mistress of novices, teaching about 100 women to become pious nuns. She was also an artist who illuminated her own breviary and is said to have decorated the walls of the convent with images of the Christ Child. These were lost or destroyed in a fire in 1667. The public church was redecorated in the late-Baroque period. On its high altar is Communion of the Apostles by Giambettino Cignaroli, whilst the church's ceiling fresco Glory of Saint Catherina Vegri is by Giuseppe Ghedini.
The house still remains an active monastery; a community of Franciscan nuns, called Poor Clares after Saint Clare their founder and companion to Saint Francis of Assisi. One of their abbesses was the daughter of Lucrezia Borgia, Leonara d'Este, now recognised as one of the earliest writers of polyphonic choral music for women.
