CASERTA – La Reggia, il Parco, l’Acquedotto Vanvitelliano e il Complesso di San Leucio

"18th-century Royal Palace of Caserta with the Park, the Aqueduct of Vanvitelli and the San Leucio Complex"

The Committee decided to inscribe this property on the basis of criteria (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv), considering that the monumental complex at Caserta, whilst cast in the same mould as other 18th century royal establishments, is exceptional for the broad sweep of its design, incorporating not only an imposing palace and park, but also much of the surrounding natural landscape and an ambitious new town laid out according to the urban planning precepts of its time. The industrial complex of the Belvedere, designed to produce silk, is also of outstanding interest because of the idealistic principles that underlay its original conception and management.
