Palazzina Reale delle Cascine, Neoclassical palace in Cascine Park, Florence, Italy

The Palazzina Reale delle Cascine presents seven arches with medallions depicting cattle care activities on its southern brick portico facade.

Built during the 1780s under Grand Duke Peter Leopold, the palace transformed from Medici hunting grounds into a sophisticated architectural project by Giuseppe Manetti.

The palace contains the Sala Pompeiana with frescoes by Giuseppe Sorbolini and the Gallery displaying Luigi Acquisti's plaster statues of Bacchae.

The building currently houses offices and facilities for the Faculty of Agricultural and Forestry Sciences at the University of Florence.

The second floor features seven gabled windows framed by paired pilasters, while the original side structures served as stables and peasant quarters.
