Is the Royal Palace of Caserta or the Royal Palace of Madrid bigger?
Is the Royal Palace of Caserta really the largest in the world and, therefore, much larger than the Royal Palace of Madrid?
The Royal Palace of Madrid is currently the seat of the Bourbons of Spain. Clearly was inspired by the Royal Palace of Caserta when Francesco Sabatini, one of Luigi Vanvitelli, carried out renovation works on the palace.
Comparison in plan
The Royal Palace of Caserta is said to be the largest in the world and, therefore, much larger than the Royal Palace of Madrid. But it’s true?
The two plans were reduced in proportion based on the width of the Royal Palace of Caserta (247m) comparing it to the width of the Royal Palace of Madrid (131m). From here the two plants were reduced in proportion. We can actually confirm that the Royal Palace of Caserta is much larger than the Palace of Madrid and it is wrong to say that the latter is the largest.

Height comparison
only the central portion of the Royal Palace of Madrid has been included for the sole purpose of evaluating the difference in height compared to the Royal Palace of Caserta.
It should also be added that the Royal Palace of Caserta also has two underground floors, so the difference is even greater
