The Royal Palace of Caserta, built at the command of Charles of Bourbon in 1752, was started by Luigi Vanvitelli, and the exterior completed by his son, Carlo, in 1774. Vanvitelli’s project was to make this palace one of the largest and most harmonious in the world, to be completed with its stupendous park and celebrated fountains.
Precious furniture, tapestries, paintings, marbles in profusion, lamps, stucco and murals, fill the rooms, without managing to diminish the vastness of their surroundings. Behind the main façade, there opens up the great arboreal shell of the Park, with its waterfall that begins high up on Briano Mt., and whose waters descend among the rocks, pausing among the immense basins of the statue decorated fountains, to come to rest in the great pool. High trees, rare plants, luxurious flowers, an Italian garden, the swan house, and block-houses in miniature, are to be admired in the woods through which run carriage drives.
Your guide will show You the lift for reaching the first floor and the itinerary for disabled.
