The Palace of Caserta is located near to the city, a former royal residence which was constructed for the Bourbon kings of Naples.

[4] The province of Caserta in the historical Terra di Lavoro region,[5] also known as Liburia, covered the greatest expanse of territory around the 13th century when it extended from the Tyrrhenian Sea and the islands of Ponza and Ventotene to the Apennines and the southern end of the Roveto Valley.

[5] In addition to Naples, the most important centers were Caserta, Capua, Nola, Gaeta, Sora, Aversa, Teano, and Isola Liri.

A series of royal decrees completed the reforms, introducing local administrative units or communes like the French ones.

[6] The territory of the province of Caserta, which lies on the southwestern part of central Italy, is bordered to the north by the Matese mountains belonging to the Apennines and by undulating hills, and to the south and west by plains of various types.
