Caserta Palace - Naples , Kingdom Of Two
Sicilies
Naples is noted for its rich history, art,
culture and gastronomy, playing an important
role throughout much of its existence; it is
over 2,500 years old.
Founded by the Ancient Greeks as Neapolis,
meaning New City, it held an important role
in Magna Graecia and then as part of the
Roman Republic in the central province of the
Empire.
Naples was the capital city of a kingdom
which bore its name from 1282 until 1816 in
the form of the Kingdom of Naples, then in
union with Sicily it was the capital of the
Two Sicilies until the Piedmont annexation.
The construction of the Caserta Palace was
begun in 1752 for Charles VII of Naples, who
worked closely with his architect Luigi
Vanvitelli. When Charles saw Vanvitelli's
grandly-scaled model for Caserta it filled
him with emotion "fit to tear his heart from
his breast"
