Palazzo del Giardino, Baroque palace in Parco Ducale, Parma, Italy.
The Palazzo del Giardino features ornate frescoes across multiple rooms, including the Hall of Maria Luigia with 204 detailed stucco birds on its barrel vault.
Duke Ottavio Farnese commissioned the palace construction in 1561 as a residence for the court of his Duchy of Parma and Piacenza.
Artists Girolamo Mirola and Jacopo Zanguidi created intricate paintings in the Hall of the Kiss between 1570 and 1573, depicting classical themes.
The palace, located at coordinates 44.8079N, 10.3223E, now serves as the headquarters for the Provincial Carabinieri Command of Parma.
Architect Ennemond Alexandre Petitot modified the structure in 1767 by adding a mezzanine to lateral wings and removing external stairs with a central grotto.
