For the main building Luigi Vanvitelli designed a rectangular body of the building, 247 meters long and 184 on the major sides of the smaller ones, with four courtyards imagined as a parade grounds (the huge open spaces used for military meetings).

And if outside the residence has a contained elegance, within it glitzy shows: the central hall, the immense grand staircase, the twelve hundred rooms, spread over three floors, multiply the perspective views in an extraordinary game references. Around the Royal Palace extends over a 120-hectare park: here, among groves, fountains and water features, emerge everywhere statues of heroes and gods of classical mythology, which often allude to the passion for hunting of kings.
