#95. Royal Palace of Caserta

“The estate at Caserta is a unique creation of the 18th century spirit, which created buildings of great architectural value that fitted well into a natural landscape, in accordance with planning designs […] representing 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.[…] The monumental Caserta complex was deliberately created as a rival to Versailles and Madrid […] Its special quality lies in the way in which it it was adapted to the surrounding landscape and incorporated individual pre-exsisting elements into an integrated whole, rather than seeking to modify or ignore it.”

from the UNESCO World Heritage Justification
