Caserma di Cavalleria Borbonica, Military barracks in Naples, Italy
The Bourbon Cavalry Barracks features a quadrilateral layout with a monumental facade and stands near the port of Naples at Piazza Duca degli Abruzzi.
Architect Luigi Vanvitelli constructed this military complex between 1757 and 1759 under the commission of Charles III of Spain to house cavalry regiments.
The barracks complex represents the military architecture of the Bourbon period and maintains its status as part of the UNESCO World Heritage site of Naples.
The building now functions as the headquarters of the Agenzia delle Entrate, the Italian Revenue Agency, after extensive renovations completed in 1993.
The structure originated from a 1581 horse training facility, which became the first circular track for equestrian practices in Europe.
