Take your time and choose where to go and what to see in Campania

WHAT TO SEE:

CASERTA

Also known as the“Versailles of Naples” the eighteenth century palace known as the “Palazzo Reale” is the main and probably sole attraction of Caserta. Initiated in 1752 for King Charles III of Bourbon, by Vanvitelli and finished roughly twenty years later. The complex is huge; the façade to the main entrance is over 245m long while the gardens have a three and half kilometre axis. While in Caserta however, the old quarter known as “Caserta vecchia” is worth visiting, especially the main square with its twelfth century Norman cathedral.

SORRENTO

The main square, Piazza Tasso, named after the Sorrentine sixteenth century poet, is where the small lanes of the historic centre lead off. The town’s cathedral holds frescoes and marvellous seventeenth and eighteenth century paintings. The museo Correale di Terranova is housed in a former palace of Sorrentine nobles, nowadays the museum displays a lot of the local wood “intarsio” work – inlaid woodwork.

RAVELLO

While in Ravello, not only are there wonderful views to admire due to its high position but also a picturesque cathedral, decorated with bronze doors, mosaic bishop’s throne and Byzantine pulpit. Villa Cimborne with its sea view terrace, flowered gardens, towers, temples and cloisters is wonderful. Wagner’s ex residence, Villa Rufolo is another main attraction of Ravello, where Parsifal was composed and the Wagner music festival takes place every year

POMPEII

Destroyed by the volcanic eruption of mount Vesuvius in 79 AD, the city of Pompeii was discovered between 1594 and 1600 during work improving the land of the Sarno valley. Ideally it takes around half a day to tour the excavations. The Forum would have been the town’s most official, important building where lay temples, a market hall and a basilica. The villa named House of the Faun still retains its mosaic in tact, as well as the “house of the tragic poet” because of its mosaics of a theatrical production and poet and also where the “cave canem” meaning beware of the dog mosaic is perfectly legible.
