It was the largest palace and probably the largest building erected in Europe in the eighteenth century. In 1996, the Palace of Caserta was listed among the World Heritage Sites on the grounds that it was "the swan song of the spectacular art of the Baroque, from which it adopted all the features needed to create the illusions of multidirectional space". (Wikipedia)
The Time Theater was opened by 1945, and all seats are on a single floor. It has been operating on reduced times since late-2012, due to the shortage and withdrawal of 35mm film stock. A local fundraising effort raised over $100,000 to purchase a digital projector, which was due to be installed. The Time Theater was set to fully reopen on June 15, 2013. It had closed by December 2017.

Sep 2 2017 - What's become a Montreal landmark on the St Lawrence River.. the Old Port's Clock Tower that's free to climb.. you get a limited view of the city but a more interesting view of the backside workings of the 4 clocks at the top.
In 1987 some waterfront was developed in Brisbane for restaurants, and small offices. Part of the development included a reasonable sized lookout tower (now bolted shut) and an unusual water clock.
I remember seeing this operating in the early 90s on a visit, and it was impressive. I can't remember exactly how it worked, but those two vertical tubes are marked with times, and I think water was pumped to the top, and at the hour, a BIG bucket thing came out on rails along the red cantilevered ramp, and then the bucket was overturned and it all came splashing down inot the pond at the bottom, to start again.
Depending on the wind, and how close you wanted to see the action, it was touch and go whether you ended up being involved in a wet T-shirt competition or not.
If only I had a photo, or if only I could find it.
Well, sadly the complex was not a roarinf success, and that might be partly because of its position with respect to road access. I am not sure, but today, some of the building is still used, but much of it seems lifeless, and the water clock is looking rather sad, with broken clock faces, all shuttered up and fenced off, and pidgeons roosting in the top.
There is another wider shot below from the other side of Breakfast Creek which is just off the main Brisbane River. The "Italian" gondolas that ferry romance around the river leave from here.
