Royal Palace of Caserta

The Royal Palace of Caserta was commissioned by King Charles of Bourbon to the architect Luigi Vanvitelli in 1751. The Royal Palace covers an area of approximately 47000 m². Furthermore, with its 123 hectares of Royal Park, 3 km of Via d'Acqua and over 200 botanical species in the English Garden, it is one of the largest and most prestigious royal residences in the world, a perfect synthesis of architecture, painting, sculpture, decorative arts. , music and nature.

The far-sighted vision of King Charles included not only the construction of the Royal Palace of Caserta, but also the development of the city and the surrounding area, as evidenced by the construction of the Caroline Aqueduct designed to supply the pools and fountains of the Royal Park, the city of Caserta and the village of San Leucio. The birth in the territory of productive realities such as the silk factories of San Leucio and the farm of Carditello testified to the attention paid by the sovereign to the potential of the territory.

Even today, the Royal Palace of Caserta is configured as an engine of development for the local community and is the cultural ambassador of Italy in the world. In 1997 it was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, together with the Carolino Aqueduct and the San Leucio Belvedere.
