The Royal Palace of Caserta (Italian: Reggia di Caserta) is a former royal residence constructed by the House of Bourbon-Two Sicilies as their main residence as kings of Naples. Located 35 km north of the historic center of Naples, the Baroque and Neoclassical complex is the largest palace erected in Europe during the 18th century. The palace has five floors; 1,200 rooms, including two dozen state apartments; 1,742 windows; 34 staircases; 1,026 fireplaces; a large library; and a theatre modelled after the Teatro San Carlo of Naples. The construction of the palace began in 1752 for Charles VII of Naples (later Charles III of Spain), who worked closely with his architect, Luigi Vanvitelli. Vanvitelli died in 1773: the construction was continued by his son Carlo and then by other architects. In 1997, the palace was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
