As I told you in some previous posts this weekend I took a little trip with some friends to a place I totally fell in love with! The palace of Caserta! This magical place is a royal house, an ancient noble villa belonging to the Bourbons of Sicily located in Caserta. Built by the architect Luigi Vanvitelli to demonstrate with architecture and pomp the power of this noble family who wanted a dream villa, something grand that would make all the other families die of envy, in fact they spent very high sums for this villa and the Its construction lasted almost twenty years and was later enlarged and renovated even if it never managed to reach the size of the original project. This villa is a riot of beauty, art, architecture, green spaces and sculptures.
The first thing we find and which is striking for its immensity is the garden, hectares of beautiful garden with statues, fountains, bushes and idyllic places for walking. This garden was the royal park and is inspired by that of Versailles. One of the most beautiful parts of the garden is the Aeolus fountain, a fountain composed of many statues inspired by Greek mythology, the fountain itself is dedicated to the God of the winds, there are other fountains always full of magnificent mythological statues but also monsters and dolphins.
Como os conté en algunos posts anteriores este fin de semana hice un pequeño viaje con unos amigos a un lugar del que me enamoré totalmente! ¡El palacio de Caserta! Este lugar mágico es una casa real, una antigua villa noble perteneciente a los Borbones de Sicilia ubicada en Caserta.
Construido por el arquitecto Luigi Vanvitelli para demostrar con arquitectura y pompa el poder de esta familia noble que quería una villa de ensueño, algo grandioso que haría morir de envidia a todas las demás familias, de hecho gastaron sumas muy altas para esta villa y sus La construcción duró casi veinte años y luego fue ampliada y renovada, aunque nunca logró alcanzar las dimensiones del proyecto original. Esta villa es un derroche de belleza, arte, arquitectura, espacios verdes y esculturas. Lo primero que encontramos y que llama la atención por su inmensidad es el jardín, hectáreas de precioso jardín con estatuas, fuentes, arbustos y lugares idílicos para pasear. Este jardín fue el parque real y está inspirado en el de Versalles. Una de las partes más bellas del jardín es la fuente de Eolo, una fuente compuesta por muchas estatuas inspiradas en la mitología griega, la fuente en sí está dedicada al dios de los vientos, hay otras fuentes siempre llenas de magníficas estatuas mitológicas pero también de monstruos. y delfines.
In addition to the fountains there is also a long beautiful waterway, a magnificent waterfall and wooded areas. And if the outside is magnificent, imagine the inside, right from the entrance we are struck by the richness, abundance and triumph of frescoes, statues, fine furniture and architecture. You enter with the royal scalobe, a marble staircase that the nobles used to go to their apartments. There are plenty of magnificent rooms in Baroque style, there is the Palatine Chapel, a chapel which is magnificent with gilded ceilings and places to sit (for beauty not to be used), then there are various rooms and apartments all full of abundant decorations and beauties, a boudoir worthy of Marie Antoinette and the court theatre, unfortunately I was not able to photograph all the rooms, I was so enraptured by the beauty and atmosphere of the place, furthermore the low lights did not allow me to take some photos very well . However, it was a nice visit and the palace is uniquely grandiose, a real jewel and it felt like being in a French court film!
Además de las fuentes, también hay un largo y hermoso canal, una magnífica cascada y zonas boscosas. Y si el exterior es magnífico, imagina el interior, ya desde la entrada nos sorprende la riqueza, abundancia y triunfo de los frescos, las estatuas, los finos muebles y la arquitectura. Se entra por el escalobe real, una escalera de mármol que utilizaban los nobles para subir a sus aposentos. Hay muchas habitaciones magníficas de estilo barroco, está la Capilla Palatina, una capilla magnífica con techos dorados y lugares para sentarse (para no utilizar la belleza), luego hay varias habitaciones y apartamentos, todos llenos de abundantes decoraciones y bellezas, un tocador digno de María Antonieta y el teatro de la corte, lamentablemente no pude fotografiar todas las habitaciones, estaba tan embelesada por la belleza y la atmósfera del lugar, además las luces tenues no me permitieron tomar algunas fotos muy Bueno . Sin embargo, fue una visita agradable y el palacio es excepcionalmente grandioso, una verdadera joya y ¡parecía estar en una película de la corte francesa!
