A priceless heritage
Under the Bourbons, southern Italy became a powerhouse, a prosperous and avant-garde kingdom whose cultural, social and industrial fortunes made a name for themselves throughout the world. A period full of charm, innovations and extraordinary stories that will influence and shape the cultural identity of Southern Italy and beyond for all time.
The residences
The legacy of the Bourbon Kingdom in Campania is expressed in all its completeness and complexity through the 22 royal residences that the Bourbons built, acquired or converted during their rule.
The Bourbon Royal Sites were built with a modern outlook, largely influenced by the artistic, cultural and socio-urban transformations of the European Age of Enlightenment.
The Royal Sites became a network that implemented a precise strategy for the transformation of the kingdom's management and production, which was useful for the development of territories that had hitherto been under-exploited.
In this respect, the royal sites still represent an element to be preserved and promoted for the socio-cultural development of the territory.
