Heritage
Palais royal de Caserte
The Royal Palace of Caserte Impressive by its threads, its staircase of honor and the axis of the gardens that runs towards the fountains. The visit alternates interior and long exterior perspective, with a royal setting that is captured in the apartments as well as in the park.
Place
Casertavecchia
Casertavecchia overlooks the plain from a medieval core of paved alleys, arches and stone houses. Its cathedral, campanile and views to Caserte offer a cooler and quieter stopover than the lower town, especially in the late afternoon.
Place
Aqueduc de Vanvitelli
Vanvitelli's aqueduct impresses with its long line of arches launched in the landscape of Caserte By approaching from the nearby roads and roads, one better understands its double effect: hydraulic prowess thought for the royal palace and almost abstract silhouette laid on the countryside.
Place
San Leucio
San Leucio tells an industrial utopia through its silk buildings, its dwellings and its connection to the courtyard of Caserte. The place is visited by observing the relationship between production, urban order and views of the plain, far from the only palatial fascist.
