	Caserta Palace - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The models for Vanvitelli's palace are supposed to have been Versailles, Charlottenburg, and the Royal Palace in Madrid, devised by Filippo Juvarra for Charles' father, Felipe V of Spain.
		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 palace also provided suitable housing for the royal family and the court of the Kingdom of Naples, the Palace housed the offices of government bureaucracy a national library, a university, a national theatre, all apart and free from the disorder and squalor of Naples.
