Sant'Agati dei Goti - Palace of Caserta

We spent Wednesday at the Palace of Caserta, bigger than Versailles and about half an hour from Sant'Agata and a little east of Naples.

The palace itself was magnificent - all marble and frescoes and chandeliers - but 'the park' was equally so. Cascades and fountains run more than three kilometres in a long alley to the foot of a man-made waterfall (and funnily enough, more than three kilometres back again as well...)

War damage is still evident in the chapel


The waterfall at the end of the basin is 
still a couple of kilometres away

The architecture and art is beautiful. Would love to see those stretches of park too. Magnificent!
