- Caserta
We're rolling out the red carpet and welcoming you into one of Italy's most beautiful royal residences. Polish your crowns and make like a king or queen inside the Royal Palace of Caserta, where art and architecture combine with some remarkable royal history!
As one of the largest palaces ever built in Europe, this sprawling, mind-bogglingly huge palace was constructed by the royal family, who used it for their posh soirees and regal business as kings of Naples.
With a whopping 1,200 rooms, 134 staircases, and more arched ceilings, sculptures and Baroque stucco than you can count, it might have been a fun place for a game of hide and seek if you were a royal kid.
Climb the Scala Regia to reach the Royal Apartments and visit the Throne Room. Ancient porcelain, furniture, and frescoes will all be explained and given a story by your expert guide.
Outside in the park, spot the classical mythology behind the impressive sculptures, fountains, pools and waterfalls. Make sure you get a lungful of Britain's native and exotic plants in the English Garden, which was lovingly tended by Maria Carolina, the wife of Ferdinand IV and sister of Marie Antoinette.
