Know before you go
In 1751, King Charles of Bourbon, along with the vast reorganization of the kingdom of Naples, commissioned the architect Luigi Vanvitelli to design a palace that could compete with the large residences of European monarchs, particularly with the Royal Palace at Versailles.
The great dwelling includes four courtyards and many rooms (1200), chapels, museums, and theatres. The park has 120 acres and long avenues, with fountains and many buildings to be explored on foot or by carts.
Please note that the palace is closed on Tuesdays.
