The interiors of the Royal Palace of Caserta

As soon as you enter the Royal Palace of Caserta, you are immediately struck by the interiors and the perspective view of the so-called Cannocchiale, i.e. the long “corridor” that ends with a view of over 3km of the Royal Park. At the center of the Cannocchiale there is a large octagonal atrium to the left of which is the large statue of Hercules from whose back you can access the Court Theater. On the opposite side of the Hercules you will find the splendid view of the entrance to the Scalone d’Onore which leads to the upper floor where, in a huge atrium of 600 square meters, you will find the entrance to the Palatine Chapel, to the area of the foreseen apartment of the Queen, while on the left the entrance to the royal apartments through the reception rooms.

In a crescendo of amazement you will admire huge and very high sparkling rooms in Rococo, Neoclassical and Empire style, made with the best marbles of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies, and always frescoed. Towards the end of the visit itinerary there is the enormous Royal Crib of the Bourbons, made up of 1200 pieces. Not to be missed is the Terrae Motus collection of contemporary art, with the best world artists of the 80s, from Pistoletto, Haring, Warhol, Mapplethorpe etc.

Restorations are currently underway to open other rooms on the Royal Floor
