Its name should be left as Le Cascine, rather than translated literally as \u201cthe farmhouses.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">From a Medici estate to a public park<\/h2>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.feelflorence.it\/it\/punti-di-interesse\/parco-delle-cascine\">FeelFlorence, the city\u2019s official tourism website<\/a>, the original estate was acquired under Duke Alessandro de\u2019 Medici and expanded under Cosimo I. Agricultural use and hunting shaped the early landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Napoleonic transformation<\/h2>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Elisa Baciocchi transformed Le Cascine into a public park during the Napoleonic period in the early nineteenth century. This change opened a new chapter in the use of the former estate as a place for public recreation.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Planning a walk in Florence<\/h2>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Le Cascine offers a different setting from the dense streets around the Duomo. If you want to combine the park with a guided city walk, check the distance and route before booking: a historic-centre tour does not necessarily include the park.<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/bestfreetour.com\/\">Find a free walking tour with Best Free Tour<\/a> matched to your interests and language.

The green strip populated by olmi, lime trees, holm oaks, ballars, plane trees, cedars, pine trees, faults, poplars, horse chestnuts, gingko &#8230; was born as a hunting reserve and agricultural farm in 1563 for Cosimo i gods.
