San  Leucio  Complex​

Located just a short drive from the city of Caserta, the San Leucio Complex forms part of one of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Campania along with the Royal Palace at Caserta (locally known as "La Reggia di Caserta") and the Vanvitelli Acqueduct (aka "Acquedotto Carolino").

The site was included in the UNESCO list due to its historical importance. ​
During the time of the Bourbon King Ferdinand IV, a former hunting lodge was converted into a silk mill, a project designed to sustain the village's employment needs.
