Delizia di Fossadalbero

Great palace wanted by Niccolo III and built in the first half of the fifteenth century. Transformed into 'delight' (i.e. place to rest and enjoy) by Borso d'Este, it looks like a crenellated castle with outposts and rivellins. It has 44 rooms (tastefully furnished and decorated), a chapel and a beautiful garden. Legend has it that this' Delight 'was the setting for the illicit and unfortunate love between Hugo (son of Niccolo III) and the Parisina.
