Like Versailles, the Royal Palace of Caserta is one of the most majestic buildings in the world.
Elegant. Regal. Absolutely magnificent. It represents a wonderful example of 18th century Italian architecture. Since 1997 it has been declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO with the Carolino Aqueduct and the San Leucio Belvedere.
Its extraordinary beauty is the result of the creative genius of Luigi and Carlo Vanvitelli. And, of course, of Charles of Bourbon, the King of Naples, whose vision would change the entire territory forever.
The Palace, with 33 other cultural sites, is also part of the “Travels in the World Heritage” project, promoted by UNESCO, to enhance some sites of the European Union. More info from here.
