The King of Naples Value for money "Caserta Palace"

The royal palace of the Bourbon Dynasty of Naples and a World Heritage site, the Reggia di Caserta is often compared to the Palace of Versailles in France. However, I personally feel that it is more magnificent than Versailles (more complicated and varied decoration), more grand (larger area, more double-height space), more rich in details (various three-dimensional zenith paintings), and more carefully arranged (classical and modern exhibits combined). It's a must-see in Naples, and I'd be sorry if anyone missed it.


The palace is currently open to 19:30 every day, every night after 17:00 adult tickets as long as 3€, compared to other classic Naples at every 20€tickets, really belongs to is not to buy a loss to buy not to be fooled, give me a hard rush!! And the night tour has the feeling of a wonderful night in a museum: it is really interesting to match the slightly scary atmosphere of the exhibits in the casual corners of the palace, as well as the symphony and lighting.

Of course, if you want to visit during the day, it is recommended that you leave in the morning, and the 15€pass includes the palace, gardens and theatre for 4 to 5 hours. As the Winter Garden closes at 14:30, it is not recommended to visit in the afternoon, as you can only visit the Royal Palace at this time, and an entrance fee of 11€is required. Specific opening hours of different months, you can visit the official website in Google Map link before travel.

The palace is easily accessible by trenitalia's regional(Naples Central Station) or metropolitan(Naples Piazza Garibaldi Station) train (both stations are actually together, reg is above ground and met is underground). It takes about 40 minutes to arrive at caserta station from the centre of Naples and just across the door from the Royal Palace.

After entering the palace, follow the instructions to visit. Pay attention to the visit inside the palace. If the ground is covered with carpet, you can only walk in the area limited by the carpet. Each room is a different style, the entire palace has 1200 rooms, although only the first floor is open to visit, but it is enough to enjoy 1.5~2h.

The exhibition area includes Renaissance oil paintings and ancient furniture, as well as very modern installation art and modernist abstract works. The most do not miss is the zenith painting, very rich and three-dimensional, a few I thought was real relief or valance, the result is all painted on.

After visiting the interior, don't leave directly, there will be a light show in the courtyard around 18:50 (at that time I was wondering if 3€can cover the cost), the light show explains the historical changes and stories of the palace, it is quite interesting. (It is recommended to ask the staff when entering the palace to avoid missing the day's display time)

Dive in! Super hidden freak anatomy museum

In ancient times, in order to carry out medical practice in the west, patients were often remade to preserve their pathological characteristics for study. Different from the current plastic mannequin, the wax figures of those real people always retain the expression of patients or pain or sadness and highly infectious body movements, and the craftsmen are used to making holy images at ordinary times, often adding some unnecessary artistic processing to these wax figures. Soon, some people began to collect and admire these special sculptures for aesthetic purposes. Recommend a book The anatomical venus, just listen to the name can feel the beauty of these statues.

The museum has several such anatomical figures, some whole and some parts, some with flesh and some that look like mummies or simply skeletons. Although I have read a lot in the book, but the details of the material texture, the subtle expression, and the picture are completely not at the same level! Very excited to see!

The owner of the museum may be very interested in dicephalus (no doubt, it is literally long two heads, yes, I did not know it was actually possible before this), just entered the skeleton area of the museum there are many double-headed 👶 skeletons, walked to the final specimen area, There is a whole wall is a large glass jar of human/cow/sheep/rabbit and other creatures white foam two-headed fetal specimens, visual impact is huge. For fear of scaring you, I won't put the picture, if you have an opportunity to be interested in seeing it with your own eyes.

Super hidden because the museum is in a medical school, follow Google maps into the university, take the elevator to the first floor and follow the signs through the various LABS and professors' offices to find it. Don't worry about difficult to find, anyway, the south Italian people are living Lei Feng is very willing to help guide the way (pro test).
