Wikipedia description:

The Royal Palace of Caserta (Italian: Reggia di Caserta [ˈrɛddʒa di kaˈzɛrta, - kaˈsɛrta]; Neapolitan: Reggia 'e Caserta [ˈrɛdːʒ(ə) e kaˈsertə]) is a former royal palace in Caserta, Campania, 35 kilometres (22 mi) north of Naples in southern Italy, constructed by the House of Bourbon-Two Sicilies as their main residence as Kings of Naples. With a volume of around 2 million m3, covering an area of 47,000 m2 and a floor area of 130,000 square metres distributed across five floors, the Royal Palace of Caserta is one of the largest palaces erected in Europe during the 18th century and one of the largest former royal residences in the world. In 1997, the palace was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
