A palace fit for a Queen

Did you spot the clue? The diminutive figure at the foot of the stairs. This is the magnificent Caserta Palace, home to Queen Amidala in the Star Wars movie, The Phantom Menace. Just one of many things we did to keep a small boy entertained on holiday. A train ride from Naples, we were equally enthralled by the cascata, a series of cascades, rippling down through the awe-inspiring gardens fronting the palace.

Stunning! What a magnificent place (I don’t know anything about the Star War’s character.) π

π Not my thing, but it’s nice you have that tradition. We watched the Star Trek shows though with our kids when they were small, and we all still watch them.

I’m afraid Star Wars isn’t my thing, I’ve never seen any of the films so the reference to it is beyond me. Fabulous staircase, though I wouldn’t want to clean it π

Doesn’t really matter if you like the films, Eunice. It’s still the most stunning place, especially the cascades. Think Chatsworth on a much larger scale π€π
