Inspired by the palaces of Versailles in Paris and El Escorial in Madrid, the Palace was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1997. The Bourbon king Charles III of Spain commissioned the construction of a new residence that could stand comparison with the most important European cities. Built on an area of 45,000 square meters, the project of the residence and garden was entrusted to the architect Vanvitelli, who designed an austere style building on the outside, with splendid rooms, and surrounded by a park with elegant and majestic fountains. Walk the 3 km park to admire the so-called “waterway”, whose water passes through the Carolino Aqueduct, an engineering marvel designed by Vanvitelli. Stroll through the park to admire countless sculptures inspired by classical mythology, but also fountains, pools and waterfalls. Climb up the hill in front of the building to visit the English garden, a journey through the colors of native and exotic plants built by Maria Carolina, wife of Ferdinand IV of Bourbon. With 5 floors and a height of 36 meters, the inside of the building has a unique beauty: 1200 rooms, 134 staircases and countless stuccos, bas-reliefs, frescoes, sculptures and inlaid floors that will leave you speechless. Head up the Scala Regia and join the Royal Apartments. The huge luminous staircase was obtained from a single block of marble and is now divided into two parallel staircases. You will also visit the Throne Room and the Bourbon rooms, all decorated by great 19th century artists and furnished by expert silk workers from the nearby factories of San Leucio. You will have the opportunity to take numerous photos during breaks!
