Caserta is known as the “Versailles of Naples” thanks to the Royal Palace built here in the 18th Century by the Bourbon King, Charles III.
Visit the enchanting palace with the help of a private guide. Overlooking the huge square, the palace is one of the most sumptuous buildings of its kind in Italy, with more that 1,200 rooms full of chandeliers, richly gilded frescoes, tapestries and history.
In 1945 the building housed the headquarters of the Supreme Command of the Allied Forces in the Mediterranean. The extraordinary gardens are 3 km long and their crowning glory is the great cascade, a 75 metres high waterfall that can be clearly seen from the palace.
Moreover during the tour you will have the chance to go to Monte Cassino to visit the famous Abbey, which was founded in 529 by St. Benedict of Norcia.
The Abbey was completely destroyed during the Second World War and has since been faithfully restored to it’s former glory, with even the original frescoes and mosaics pieced together again.
During the day you will have a private car with driver and guide at your disposal to fully enjoy the beauty of those places.
