The Palazzina Reale, or the Grand Ducal Villa is located in the exact center of Cascine Park, on a large square guarded by four lionesses-sphinxes, neo-egyptian decorations added at the end of the 18th century. The building, commissioned by Grand Duke Pietro Leopoldo of Lorraine, was designed by Giuseppe Manetti in 1756 and constituted the main building of the Grand Ducal Farm, as indicated by the decorations on the facade. Since 1936 it has been the seat of the Faculty of Agricultural and Forestry Sciences of the University of Florence.
