About

One of the largest palaces in the world, construction first began in 1752 under the rule of Charles VII of Naples. During its more than 250-year history, the palace has held many different roles. While it first served as the royal residence, court, and administrative centre, it was also the site of the Allied Force Headquarters in the Mediterranean as well as the signing of the terms of the unconditional German surrender of forces in Italy. As you walk through this awe-inspiring palace, take in the splendor of the gold-decorated walls and ceilings, countless paintings, and the seemingly endless sea of marble. Once you have explored the palace and royal apartments, take a walk, bike, or even bus ride through the impressive 2.5 kilometers of gardens. Whatever your interest, the Royal Palace of Caserta is sure to impress. Tickets should be booked in advance at https://reggiadicaserta.cultura.gov.it/en/
