 Reggia
di Caserta
(45,1km from B&B)
The Royal Palace of Caserta, in italian Reggia di Caserta, is a former royal residence
in Caserta, constructed for the Bourbon kings of
Naples. It was the largest palace and probably
the largest building erected in Europe in the
eighteenth century. In 1996, the Palace of
Caserta was listed among the World Heritage
Sites on the grounds that it was "the swan song
of the spectacular art of the Baroque, from
which it adopted all the features needed to
create the illusions of multidirectional space.
