Ancient Galatia preserves a rich historical-artistic heritage, evidence of its Roman and, before that, Samnite domination.
The marvelous Royal Palace and the historic center represent the unmissable places on what to see in Caserta. Places that you can easily visit on foot during a day.
Thinking of visiting San Leucio or Casertavecchia on the same day is truly unthinkable, which is why you will need to take at least two days into account.
The visit of the city can only start from its marvelous Palace, the visit of which will take at least half a day.
Elegant, regal and magnificent, it has been declared a world heritage site by UNESCO since 1997 and today it is one of the most beautiful palaces in the world.
Its Royal Park is also beautiful, with its English gardens standing out.
In our special section all the information on this splendid complex, including opening times, access and ticket prices.
The historic center of Caserta preserves interesting testimonies of its past.
Corso Trieste and Via Roma are the main city arteries where numerous clubs, bars and shops line up.
Just beyond is Piazza Duomo, one of the most evocative places in the historic center, dominated by the splendid Cathedral. Inside there are splendid works of art and paintings.
The monumental complex is located about 6 kilometers from the historic center, reachable by bus or car.
Without a doubt, it is an unmissable stop on what to see in Caserta on a holiday of at least two days or as an alternative to the Royal Palace if you have already visited it.
The complex is located in a beautiful position and houses treasures from the Bourbon era, most of which are linked to the production of silk.
It has been included in the UNESCO World Heritage Site with the Royal Palace and the aqueduct.

A wonderful medieval village, in a suggestive position at about 400 meters above sea level overlooking the entire surrounding valley. Casertavecchia is undoubtedly one of the unmissable places on what to see in Caserta on a weekend.
You walk through the alleys and squares of the village, admiring some beautiful complexes. The Cathedral dating back to the 12th century, the Bell Tower and the remains of an ancient fortress stand out.
During nice days you can stop for lunch in one of the many restaurants in the village.
“September at the Village” instead, celebrates art and culture in its many forms, with a beautiful festival that attracts thousands of visitors every year. Not to be missed.

It is the second largest Roman amphitheater in the world, second only to the Colosseum in Rome. This would be enough to push the curious to delve into Santa Maria Capua Vetere, a small town about 15 km from Caserta.
The underground rooms, still perfectly preserved today, transport visitors to ancient times among slaves and gladiators. Really fascinating. Info from this link.
