Making every place fully accessible is a distant goal for now, however, we are on the right track!<\/p>\n<p>Being a wheelchair tourist is often not easy, barriers are always around the corner. Let's try to enjoy together this beautiful city that is striving to be for everyone. We have identified accessible routes to visit Caserta in a wheelchair and experience it to the fullest.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Un_giro_al_centro\"><\/span>A tour of the center<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>It is said \"See <strong>Naples<\/strong> and then you die,\" but also <strong>Caserta<\/strong> Is a wonderful place, all to be discovered! Our itinerary can only begin with a tour in the <strong>center<\/strong>, full of stores and bars, starting from Corso Trieste, with its wide sidewalks, passing through <strong>Dante Square<\/strong>, the \"living room\" of the city, then to\u00a0<strong>Mazzini Street<\/strong>, the shopping street, to <strong>Vanvitelli Square<\/strong>, where we find the monument dedicated to our famous architect <strong>Luigi Vanvitelli<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"La_piazza_del_poeta\"><\/span>The poet's square<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Dante Square<\/strong> is one of the oldest squares in Caserta, built in the 19th century and also called Piazza Margherita after the unification of Italy. Already at that time it was a cultural gathering place for students as well as professors. Legend has it that at one time Caserta students avoided crossing the arcades, for fear that bad luck might befall them. It was said that the number of arches crossed corresponded to the number of interrogations they would have to endure the next morning. Better not to take the chance!<\/p>\n<p>On weekends the square is popular with young people enjoying the Caserta nightlife, also home to events such as Caserta Street Food, CE Gusto, the Chocolate Festival and many others.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Un_tour_nella_storia_dei_Borbone\"><\/span>A tour through the history of the Bourbons<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>From Dante Square, a few steps and we reach the wonderful <strong>Royal Palace of Caserta<\/strong>, the Royal Palace built by Luigi Vanvitelli at the behest of <strong>Charles of Bourbon<\/strong>. With its rooms and endless garden, the Palace is the largest royal residence in the world, which has become a World Heritage Site.<strong>UNESCO<\/strong> in 1997. A magnificent mansion that makes us dream and relive the daily life of the royalty of Naples.<\/p>\n<p>At the entrance we find dedicated assistance for people with disabilities. Each floor can be reached through the use of an elevator, and the beautiful, verdant Park is quietly accessible through wide avenues, which run through it from start to finish.<\/p>\n<p>Having visited the Royal Palace of Caserta, it is a must to head to the <strong>Belvedere of San Leucio<\/strong>, just a few kilometers from the royal palace, also commissioned by Charles of Bourbon and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It offers a wonderful view of the places of <strong>San Leucio<\/strong>, <strong>Caserta<\/strong>, even to the <strong>Vesuvius<\/strong> On the clearest days.<\/p>\n<p>Born from King Ferdinand's dream of establishing an autonomous community dedicated to silk processing, here we can visit the amazing <strong>Silk Museum<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Luoghi_accessibili_nella_provincia_casertana\"><\/span>Accessible places in the province of Caserta<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There are places very close to Caserta that are accessible, even if only in part, including the splendid Borgo di Casertavecchia, the impressive Museo Archeologico Nazionale dell'Antica Calatia in Maddaloni, and then again the Anfiteatro Campano and its Gladiator Museum in Santa Maria Capua Vetere.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Il_borgo_di_Caserta_Vecchia\"><\/span>The village of Old Caserta<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Testifying to the medieval period in Caserta, is the charming village of <strong>Casertavecchia<\/strong>, on the slopes of the <strong>Tifatini Mountains<\/strong>. With its narrow streets and the remains of ancient walls, it provides a unique atmosphere. Center of the village is <strong>Bishop's Square<\/strong>, with old signs and small bars, where we find the most important places, such as the <strong>Cathedral<\/strong>, rich in artistic languages, the result of centuries of restoration, the <strong>Church of the Annunziata<\/strong> and the <strong>Bishop's Palace<\/strong>. On the highest point of the hill stands the majestic <strong>Castle<\/strong>, open only during events. Splendid is also the view in many parts of the village, and no less important are the restaurants, pizzerias, trattorias, with many typical products, all to try!<\/p>\n<p>In the summertime, Casertavecchia is home to events such as. <strong>The return of the knights to the village<\/strong>, <strong>September in the village<\/strong>, folk events with many famous artists. Many initiatives have made the village more accessible, such as the most recent one, a dedicated bathroom for the disabled, with all the essential equipment, amenities, and appropriate space for companions as well, but we have to take into account the conformation of the place, with strenuous climbs and steep descents. For those with non-electric wheelchairs it is much more difficult to cope with a prolonged climb, in contrast those with a more automatic chair perhaps can manage.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Viaggio_multimediale_nella_storia_di_Calatia\"><\/span>Multimedia journey through the history of Calatia<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>A few kilometers from Caserta, in the town of Maddaloni, we find the <strong>National Archaeological Museum of Ancient Calatia<\/strong>, suitable for everyone. It tells in a modern multimedia language the story of <strong>Calatia<\/strong>, an ancient Etruscan, then Samnite and finally Roman city, which stood along the ancient Appian Way in the territory of the present-day municipality of Maddaloni. We find educational films on LCD screens installed in the halls, an interactive multi-touch table to guide the tour routes, audio\/video podcasts in Italian\/English for the guided tour of the museum, but most importantly, even the blind can visit it thanks to the presence of Braille panels.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Un_tuffo_nella_storia_romana\"><\/span>A dive into Roman history<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Continuing our tour, we can relive the legendary gladiator battles by visiting the<strong>Campanian Amphitheater<\/strong> at Santa Maria Capua Vetere, also only a few kilometers from Caserta. Unfortunately, the amphitheater is only partially accessible because it is a protected historic site. A miniature coliseum, it is speculated to be the first Roman amphitheater ever built. Next to it we also find the <strong>Gladiator Museum<\/strong>, on the other hand totally accessible.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A quietly accessible itinerary for visiting the wonderful city of Caserta and its provinces,...<\/p>","protected":false},"author":17,"featured_media":15776,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"","_seopress_titles_title":"","_seopress_titles_desc":"","_seopress_robots_index":"","content-type":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[316],"tags":[],"locations":[167,184],"class_list":["post-17597","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-viaggia-in-compagnia","locations-campania","locations-caserta"],"pp_statuses_selecting_workflow":false,"pp_workflow_action":"current","pp_status_selection":"publish","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/movery.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17597","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/movery.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/movery.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/movery.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/17"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/movery.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=17597"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/movery.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17597\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/movery.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/15776"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/movery.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=17597"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/movery.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=17597"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/movery.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=17597"},{"taxonomy":"locations","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/movery.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/locations?post=17597"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
