The residence has four extraordinary courtyards and a sumptuous park decorated with numerous fountains and waterfalls.The park of the Reggia and the scenic “Via d’Acqua,” powered by the Caroline Aqueduct, are visited by thousands of tourists every day.

Putting aside for a moment the beauty of the park and the gardens, you will discover the elegance and splendor of the interior: 1200 rooms, 134 staircases and countless stucco works, bas-reliefs, frescoes, sculptures and amazingly beautiful intarsia wooden floors.
