Commissioned by Charles of Bourbon in the 18th century, the Royal Palace of Caserta was conceived not to imitate Versailles, but to surpass it in harmony, scale, and beauty. Designed by Luigi Vanvitelli, this architectural masterpiece stands as one of Europe’s greatest royal residences — a symbol of the Enlightenment and Bourbon grandeur.
Inside, visitors are captivated by the monumental staircase, the Palatine Chapel, the Court Theatre, and the lavish royal apartments adorned with frescoes, gilded stuccoes, and original furnishings. Outside, the vast royal park stretches for kilometers, animated by majestic fountains, sculptures, and cascades fed by the legendary Carolino Aqueduct.
Recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Royal Palace of Caserta is not just a royal residence — it’s the triumph of Italian genius, where art, architecture, and nature merge into timeless perfection.

    Reggia di Caserta

    When Charles of Bourbon became king of Naples he wanted to build a mansion outside the city that could compete in beauty with the majestic royal residences of Versailles and Shönbrunn. The architect Luigi Vanvitelli thus created a magnificent palace, whose gardens, with spectacular waterfalls and monumental fountains fed by an aqueduct built for the occasion, have become among the most famous in the world. The interiors, decorated between the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, leave the visitor amazed in every room: the entrance staircase, the vestibule, the palatine chapel, the court theater, the still intact furnishings and the throne room make this sumptuous residence among the most beautiful in Europe.
