Attractions
Bourbon Palace of Portici and Botanical Garden
Address: Via Università, 100, 80055 Portici, NA, Italy .Between the slopes of Vesuvius and the port of Granatello, the royal couple Charles of Bourbon and Maria Amalia of Saxony, decided to build, in 1738, their summer villa. Engineers, architects and decorators worked on the construction of the Palace: Medrano, Canevari, Vanvitelli, Fuga, Canart, Bonito, Re and Geri.
The site of Porticisi soon revealed buried memories: at each excavation some wonder of the past re-emerged into the light. The finds, coming from the buried cities of Herculaneum and Pompeii, were placed in the rooms of the Palace, forming one of the most famous collections in the world and giving rise to the Herculanense Museum, inaugurated in 1758 and a privileged destination for the Grand Tour.
In the early nineteenth century the collections of archaeology were transferred to Naples, constituting the nucleus of the current National Archaeological Museum.
During the French Decade (1806-1815) the Reggia was restored with new decorations and furnished according to the taste of the French Empire.Pietrarsa National Railway Museum
Address: Via Pietrarsa, snc, 80146 Napoli NA, Italy .On 3 October 1839 in the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies was inaugurated the first railway in Italy. It was 7,411 meters long and connected Naples to Portici, on the same route of the Naples-Salerno line, which today runs along the Museum area. The journey was completed in 11 minutes by two convoys designed by engineer Armand Bayard de la Vingtrie, based on a prototype of the British George Stephenson.
The following year the Royal Decree was issued for the purchase of a first part of the land on which the complex of Pietrarsa would be built, in a place where in the Napoleonic era a battery was stationed to defend the coast of Naples.https://www.fondazionefs.it/content/fondazionefs/en.html
