The Ducal Palace of Parma, which can be found inside the Parco Ducale, was built by Ottavio Farnese in 1561 and has many points of interests which make it worth visiting inside.
On the ground floor you can see a collection of works of art by Cesare Baglioni dating back to the beginning of 1600's. As you walk up the staircase you come to the Sala degli uccelli (bird's room) where you can see frescos and stuccos of 224 different types of birds.
Other interesting rooms are the Sala di Alcina, Sala del Bacio (of the kiss), Sala d’Orfeo, Sala di Erminia, Sala dell’Amore (of love), Sala delle leggende (of the legends). They all have very interesting frescoes.
