Casina di Caccia Reale Borbonica, Royal hunting lodge in Serre, Italy

The Real Casina di Caccia di Persano spans two levels with a square layout, featuring four octagonal towers and a central courtyard with double-level arcades.

Charles III of Bourbon commissioned military engineer Giovanni Domenico Piana to construct this hunting lodge in 1752, with Luigi Vanvitelli modifying it in 1753.

The chapel of Santa Maria delle Grazie contains two rectangular spaces covered by elliptical domes with lanterns, incorporating elements of Byzantine architecture.

The building currently operates as a military area housing the Garibaldi Logistic Regiment and requires special arrangements through FAI for public access.

The estate established an equine breeding program in 1742, developing the Persano horse breed that gained recognition during Napoleonic campaigns.
