Parco delle Cascine

Piazza Vittorio Veneto, Florence, Italy

 

Spread over 118 hectares, this popular park is a favourite with joggers, horse riders and families with young children, especially on Sundays and Tuesday mornings, when it's market day. Towards Piazza Vittorio Veneto on the park's east side is an open-air swimming pool (used during the summer months), while to the west is the park's amphitheatre, a popular summertime venue for dance performances and concerts. At the end of the 18th century important buildings such as the Palazzina Reale, currently home to the Facolta di Agraria dell'Universita degli Studi di Firenze (Florence University Science Faculty) were added before the park finally became public at the start of the 19th century. Horse racing takes place not far from here at the Ippodromo delle Muline.
