The Royal Palace is one of the four residences used by the Bourbon Kings of Naples during their rule of the Kingdom of Two Sicilies (1730-1860): one is in Caserta, another on the Capodimonte hill overlooking Naples, and the third (now the site of the agricultural department of the University of Naples) is in Portici on the slopes of Vesuvius.

The Royal Palace is on the site of an earlier building (an older Spanish viceroyal residence from the early 16th century). The royal residence was moved to Caserta in the 18th century, as that inland town was more defensible from naval assault than Naples.
The architect chosen for that palace was Domenico Fontana. The building was put up on the site of an even older Spanish viceroyal residence from the early 16th century.
