The town of Portici is noteworthy for the Royal Palace which was built by order of Charles III of Bourbon in 1737.
The king had visited the area with his wife, Maria Amalia, who was really fond of the beautiful landscapes of the slopes of mount Vesuvius. Charles III decided to build a dwelling in order to spend some holidays here where he could go hunting while his wife could spend some time at the beach.

The Royal Palace included also a nearby building which was used to host the artifacts unearthed from the buried towns of Herculaneum and Pompei.

The objects uncovered from the ruins of those ancient towns, formed the famous Herculanense Museum which has recently been reopened to the public.

The Royal Palace is surrounded by a beautiful park which has now become an important botanical garden.

We will visit a few frescoed rooms and the modern museum which contains a few artifacts and copies of the original material brought to light from the ruins of ancient Herculaneum.
