Justice for The Kingdom

Yesterday, we visited the Royal Palace in Caserta, where the seat of the Kingdom of Two Sicilies (at least in summer) was during the 18th and early 19th centuries. Here, Justice is flanked by Hercules and a woman personifying the Kingdom of Two Sicilies. Note the Trinacria on the disk she holds, on the right. This is in the Hall of Astrea. Astrea is the goddess of innocence and justice.

La Reggia, the Royal Palace, is magnificent. I am still processing all I saw yesterday. It’s historical significance must be told!
