Français: Palais royal du XVIIIe siècle de Caserte avec le parc, l’aqueduc de Vanvitelli et l’ensemble de San Leucio
The 18th-Century Royal Palace at Caserta with the Park, the Aqueduct of Vanvitelli, and the San Leucio Complex is a World Heritage Site in Italy defined by the UNESCO in 1997 and definitely a recommended cultural sightseeing location. It is on position 2 (4, 64) in our monthly survey..
"The monumental complex at Caserta, created by the Bourbon king Charles III in the mid-18th century to rival Versailles and the Royal Palace in Madrid, is exceptional for the way in which it brings together a magnificent palace with its park and gardens, as well as natural woodland, hunting lodges and a silk factory. It is an eloquent expression of the Enlightenment in material form, integrated into, rather than imposed on, its natural setting."
