The Royal Palace of Caserta

The majestic Royal Palace of Caserta was built by initiative of the king Charles of Bourbon as the new administrative center of the Kingdom of Naples, committing the project to the architect Luigi Vanvitelli. The royal palace was erected taking the one of Versailles as a model, while the huge park extends for 3 km. We will see the Old Apartment, inhabited by Ferdinand IV and Maria Carolina, with its numerous rooms painted by the court artists; later we will continue visiting the New Apartment, with its impressive throne room where the king received delegations and ambassadors.
