About this experience
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.King Charles introduced reforms and kick-started the economy with hectic building activity.His most ambitious project was a palace to rival Versailles, and he commissioned the Neapolitan architect Vanvitelli who designed a palace larger than any other royal palace in the world.The Archeological Museum of Naples has a breathtaking collection of Roman statues and this extraordinary museum is arguably one of the best not just in Italy,but in Europe.
