Discover the Palace of Caserta and marvel at its countless fountains, the stunning English Garden, and its beautiful frescoes.
The Reggia of Caserta is a jewel in southern Italy. Built in 1750 by the Bourbon King Charles of Naples, this royal palace features 1,200 lavish rooms and gardens that rival European contemporaries. Ciro, one of our local guides, says, ‘Discover what inspired the great architect Luigi Vanvitelli, looking closely at his work, and delve into the history of its 100-year construction during a pre-unified Italy.'<br/>Marvel at the illusion of the gardens that stretch to the horizon. Fountains, sculptures and waterfalls inspired by classical mythology. You’ll get your dose of nature among the native and exotic plants of the English Gardens, with more pools, lakes and temples.<br/>Inside the palace, walk up the immense Grand Staircase. Explore the opulent rooms of the Royal Apartments decorated with frescoes, gold, chandeliers and baroque furniture. You’ll also see the chapel and theater, a mini version of Naples’ Teatro San Carlo. They’ll leave you in complete awe.<br/>
