Overview

The UNESCO World Heritage listed Reggia di Caserta started out as a royal boasting contest. King Charles VII of Bourbon wanted a palace to outshine the Palace of Versailles, so in 1752 he initiated the construction of the largest royal residence in the world. His most ambitious project was a palace to rival Versailles, and he commissioned the job to the Neapolitan architect Luigi Vanvitelli who made a palace larger than any other royal palace in the world. In the Palace there are 1790 windows and 1200 rooms. King Charles never came to spend a night at the palace.
In 62 A.D. a violent earthquake struck the Vesuvius area. Seventeen years later, on August 24, 79 A.D., the sudden eruption of Vesuvius buried Pompeii with ashes and lapillus. The buried city was rediscovered in the 16th Century, but it was only in 1748 that the exploration phase began, under the King of Naples Charles III of Bourbon. Our guide will bring this ancient resort town to life.

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.

Pompeii Archaeological Park

The spectral ruins of ancient Pompeii lead to one of the world's most engrossing archaeological experiences. Much of the site's value lies in the fact that the town wasn't simply blown away by Vesuvius in AD 79 but buried under a layer of lapilli (burning fragments of pumice stone). The result is a remarkably well-preserved slice of ancient life, where visitors can walk down Roman streets and pry around millennial old houses, temples, shops, cafes and amphitheatres. With a private and historian guide, you will be able to visit what is considered to be Europe’s most important archaeological site.
