The Royal Palace in Caserta was built to be the official residence of the King of Naples (Charles III) inspired by Versailles in France. Still today, it is one of the largest palaces in the world. It has 1,200 rooms and an outdoor enclosure full of gardens with fountains, waterfalls and other attractions. It was declared a World Heritage Site by Unesco in 1997, for being one of the first examples of Baroque architecture in southern Italy. The peaceful surroundings contrast with the hustle and bustle of Naples. The train ride from Naples to Caserta takes about 35 minutes from the Central Station.

Despite the succession of eruptions, the slopes of Vesuvius are covered with dense vegetation that has adapted to living on the lava flows, due to the phenomenon of “ecological succession”: when the lava cools, the first to colonize it are lichens and mosses, the so-called pioneer species, very resistant organisms that form an initial organic substrate on which more complex organisms such as ferns or certain grasses can begin to develop, creating in turn a layer for plants with more complex root systems.
Today, in the areas affected by the most recent eruptions, a gray, filamentous lichen (Stereocaulon vesuvianum) can be seen preparing the ground for other plants, while shrub species such as helichrysum, rockrose, mugwort and red valerian appear in the older eruptions.
After the excursions to the crater, inside the Vesuvius National Park, it is possible to visit the Park Museum in the municipality of Boscoreale, where plastic models are exhibited to visualize the evolution of the volcano, materials illustrating the peculiarities of the soil and its biodiversity, as well as the history of the complex interaction between human populations and the volcanic environment.
