Reggia di Caserta (Castle of Caserta)

The sisters wanted to visit the Castle at Caserta during their p-day this week.  So we drove them there and got to see this incredible castle.  It was constructed in1752 for the Bourbon Kings of Naples. It is the worlds largest palace by volume, with more than 70 million cubic feet.  It has 1200 rooms as opposed to Versailles with only 700 rooms.  This place is enormous!  It has a beautiful grand staircase.  It  has been the filming location for Mission Impossible and Angels and Demons and Star Wars I and II.  The layout of the gardens resembles Versailles.  Below are a few of the pictures I took.  They wouldn't let you take any pictures of most rooms inside.
