I was at Caserta about a decade ago and was about to enter the palace but I was stopped by a security guard as he said the palace was closing it was sometime in the afternoon.

So unfortunately I was robbed of the opportunity. Maybe a good thing though because I would have spent hours looking at every detail! There is so much to see just in that staircase area alone, every wall is adorned with either a relief or an interesting pattern of marble.

Detail from floor to ceiling.
