  Caserta Palace - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Caserta Palace, in Italian Palazzo Reale di Caserta, is a palace and former Royal residence in Caserta, near Naples, once used by the Kings of Naples.
In 1996, the Palace of Caserta was listed among the World Heritage Sites on the ground that it was "the swan song of the spectacular art of the Baroque, from which it adopted all the features needed to create the illusions of multidirectional space".
Of all the royal residences inspired by the Palace of Versailles, the Reggia of Caserta is the one bearing the greatest resemblance to the original model: the unbroken balustraded skyline, the slight break provided by pavilions within the long, somewhat monotonous facade.

The Palazzo Borghese (pl. 77.1) was a further development of these integrating effects of perspective and chiaroscuro in transforming the entire context into a positive trompe l'oeil illusion.
Old and new, imaginary and real were now combined in creating new structures, and if perspective removed the opposition between old and new, it did the same in the case of real and imaginary.
As a result real and imaginary, everyday act and theatrical re-enactment could and often did become one, which inspired as many sources of delight in Italy, France and isolated courts, as it posed serious threats in other parts of Europe, where perspective, metaphor and illusion remained a negative trinity.

Further inland, a short train or bus ride direct from Naples, CASERTA, incongruously surrounded by a sprawl of industrial complexes and warehouses that stretches all the way back to Naples, is known as the "Versailles of Naples" for its vast eighteenth-century royal palace, which utterly dominates the town.
