Caserta

The Royal Palace of Caserta extends across 235,000 square meters, featuring 1,200 rooms, a theatre, a library, and four courtyards within its structure.

The city originated from a Lombard settlement in the 8th century, later developing around a defensive tower before becoming the seat of Bourbon royalty.

The San Leucio complex houses a silk museum displaying the traditional manufacturing processes and machinery used in the local textile industry since 1789.

The main railway station connects Caserta to Naples in 30 minutes and Rome in 2 hours, with regular services throughout the day.

The palace gardens stretch for 3 kilometers, incorporating a series of fountains that function without mechanical pumps through natural water pressure.
