Take a journey to discover the majestic Royal Palace of Caserta, a UNESCO site famous for its Baroque style and its impressive size (it is the largest royal residence in the world). About 60 km from Camping Village Baia Domizia lies the Abbey of Montecassino, one of the most famous abbeys in the world. Once an ancient Roman garrison, Montecassino is renowned for its thousand-year history and for the events connected to its abbey. In 529 A.D., Saint Benedict chose this mountain to found a monastery that would welcome him and the monks who followed him from Subiaco. Over the centuries, the Abbey experienced both glory and destruction, each time rising even stronger from its ruins: it was destroyed by the Lombards and later by the Saracens, struck by a violent earthquake in 1349, and almost completely razed to the ground during the bombings of February 1944. What can be admired today is a faithful reconstruction of more than twenty thousand square meters, visible even from the nearby A1 highway. Located 520 meters above sea level, on the top of the mountain, the Abbey is easily recognizable from afar, serving as a clear landmark for the entire surrounding area.
