The Caserta Palace, in Italian Reggia di Caserta, is a palace and former Royal residence in Caserta, near Naples, once used by the Kings of Naples. It was the largest palace and probably the largest building erected in Europe in the 18th century. In 1996, the Palace of Caserta was listed among the World Heritage Sites on the ground that it was "the swan song of the spectacular art of the Baroque, from which it adopted all the features needed to create the illusions of multidirectional space".[1] The Kingdom of Naples was neither powerful nor prosperous when Caserta was built, and it was less flatteringly described by the historian Edward Crankshaw as "a colossal monument to minuscule glory."

Used as the Naboo Royal Palace in both Star Wars I Phantom Menace & Star Wars II, Attack of the Clones
