The Complex was born from King Ferdinand's dream of creating an autonomous community. It is divided into 3 sections closely linked to each other, because they were born together in the second half of the 18th century: Industrial archeology (the ancient silk factory); Historic Apartment; Royal Gardens. Finally, it is enriched by the Weaver's House, an example of a workers' house from the end of the 19th century. The visit itinerary, enriched by multimedia devices that help understand the enormous work behind each silk product, is spread over two floors and winds through the nine hand looms that produce brocades, lampas, damasks and the famous “Leucian blanket”; the two enormous twisting machines and the water wheel that gives them movement; and then the so-called "Bagno di Maria Carolina", a real indoor swimming pool, the work of the first court painter P.Hackert, and then the rooms painted by F.Fischetti, G.Cammarano; finally the panoramic terraces of the Royal Gardens.
