CASERTA AND CASSINO TOUR...
ROYAL PALACE AND CASSINO ABBEY.....CASERTA IS KNOWN AS THE "VERSAILLES OF NAPLES" BECAUSE OF THE ROYAL PALACE BUILT HERE BY THE BOURBON KING (CHARLES III) IN THE 18TH CENTURY. THE ANCHANTING PALACE OVERLOOKING THE HUGE SQUARE IS ONE OF THE MOST SUMPTUOUS BUILDINGS OF ITS KIND IN ITALY, IT HAS OVER 1200 ROOMS AND IS FULL OF CHANDELIER, RICHLY GILDED FRESCOES, TAPESTRIES AND HISTORY. IN 1945 IT WAS THE HEADQUARTERS OF THE SUPREME COMMANDE OF THE ALLIED FORCES IN THE MEDITERRANEAN. THE EXTRAORDINARY GARDENS ARE 3 KM LONG AND THEIR CROWING GLORY IS THE GREAT CASCADE, A 75 METRES HIGH WATERFALL WHICH CAN BE CLEARLY SEEN FROM THE PALACE. AFTER THE SPLENDOUR OF THE ROYAL PALACE, WE MAKE OUR WAY TO MONTE CASSINO TO THE FAMOUS ABBEY WHICH EAS FOUNDED IN 529 BY ST. BENEDICT OF NORCIA. DURING THE SECOND WORLD WAR THE ABBEY WAS COMPLETELY DESTROYED AND HAS SINCE BEEN FAITHFULLY RESTORED TO IT'S FORMER GLORY, WITH EVEN THE ORIGINAL FRESCOES AND MOSAICS PIECED TOGETHER AGAIN. A TRULY MEMORABLE DAY OUT.
