Why visit The Royal Palace of Caserta?

Baroque grandeur

Step back in time and explore the opulent halls adorned with frescoes, intricate stuccowork, and rich tapestries. Witness the dramatic interplay of light and shadow that's trademark to this architectural style.

Highlights

The Royal Park

Spanning 3km in length and featuring 60 statues, the Royal Park is 100 hectares in area and houses 6 monumental fountains. Its lifeblood is the Caroline Aqueduct, feeding its complex system of pools and fountains. The Royal Park itself has plenty to see inside, including the Boschia Vecchio (which is the oldest portion of the Park), the waterfall that distributes the water from the Caroline Aqueduct and more.

The Royal Palace

The Royal Palace of Caserta has a total of 1200 rooms placed across 5 floors, including 12 state apartments, a library, and a theatre that was modelled after Teatro San Carlo of Naples. A masterpiece of Baroque architecture, the palace follows a symmetrical layout. It showcases grand staircases, soaring ceilings, and intricate decorations.

The Palatine Chapel

Built within the Palace, the chapel was Vanvitelli's personal challenge to one-up the church in Versailles which he deemed as 'bad, disproportionate in everything”. To this end, no expense was spared to decorate the 'house of god', with the finest marbles sourced from Naples and Sicily. This gives the Palatine Chapel a polychromatic finish, with its gold ceilings and multi-hued marble floor.

The English Gardens

Occupying an area of 23 hectares, the English Garden is the first example of an informal garden in Italy. The garden is home to rare and exotic plants that were imported from around the world (totaling 224 species). Apart from the plants, this garden also houses several lakes, temples, four greenhouses, an English mansion, a bee house, 24 sculptures and other elements.

The Caroline Aqueduct

The Caroline Aqueduct is an engineering marvel designed by Luigi Vanvitelli. It was designed to supply the Palace, gardens, fountains, the upcoming city of Caserta, and the nearby mills and agricultural lands with water. The construction of this structure was one of the most important public works done by the Bourbons.

San Silvestro Wood

Extending for 76 hectares behind the Royal Park, these woods were bought and cultivated by King Charles of Bourbon. It was used for hunting, cultivating olive trees and vineyards, breeding cattle and producing cheese. Within, there is an 8 hectare rectangular vineyard called San Silvestro’s Oasis. Today, it is funded by the World Wide Fund for Nature.
