Reggia di Caserta
The construction of the Royal Palace of Caserta was ordered in 1750 by Charles of Bourbon, it was conceived as the new central for the Kingdom of Naples, just become autonomous from the Spanish motherland. The structure is an ancient royal palace located in Caserta, the largest royal residence in the world, in 1997 it was declared a UNESCO heritage site. It was built in full Italian Baroque style and finished in 1845. The palace is very large and covers 47000 square meters of surface, among the most beautiful areas of the royal palace there are the Palatine Chapel with its majestic altar and the Hall of the throne with its magnificent frescoes painted on the ceiling. Through the palace rooms you access the old apartment and the new apartment. The latter is made in full neoclassical style. Immediately after the apartments we find the Quadreria with a very large art collection, eleven rooms full of paintings and works. Many paintings coming from the best artistic schools in Campania: from the Academy of Belle Arti, from the school of Salvator Rosa or from the portraits of the Bourbon court. In the elliptical room we find the Royal Presepe with a 40 square meter base, the Terrae Mothus collection is very important: here are collected works by great contemporary artists such as Andy Warhol. Outside the palace we find the Park, very large and full of fountains. There are 6 fountains and tanks dedicated to the gods of the Greco-Roman antiquity, within them we can also admire aquatic plants in excellent condition. Inside the park, in addition to the fountains, there are also two gardens differentiated into two different types, similar in structure but different in style, the first is the Italian garden and the second is the English one.
