Ferrara is located in the Padania plain, near the Po Delta. Its centre is about 6km south of the main branch of the River Po while a southern tributary, the Po di Volano, bounds the medieval city and its encircling walls. The Darsena of San Paolo follows the course of the Po di Volano. Extending over more than a hectare and used as a boat jetty, it features a range of aquatic vegetation, including water chestnuts, floating fern and water gentian, three species considered at risk of extinction. It is moreover a setting that attracts dragonflies and aquatic birds.
