Wonderful residence commissioned by Charles of Bourbon whose works began in 1752.
The project was completed almost a century later, exactly in 1847.
Today the Royal Palace of Caserta is rightly considered one of the masterpieces of Baroque architecture in Italy.
His numbers are impressive to say the least. The Royal residence alone covers an area of almost 50,000 square meters for a total of 1200 rooms.
The beautiful royal park extends for over 120 hectares, on a route of approximately 4km between paths, plants of all species, centuries-old trees, fountains and lakes.
A truly evocative and wonderful place, all to be admired.
In 1997 it was included in the UNESCO World Heritage Site, together with the San Leucio Belvedere (not to be missed) and the Carolino aqueduct.
