The Constanța Casino (Romanian: Cazinoul din Constanța) is a defunct casino located in Constanța, Romania. Designated by the Romanian Ministry of Culture and National Patrimony as a historic monument,[1] the casino is situated on the Constanța seafront along the Black Sea in the historic Peninsulă District of the city.
Three different buildings were constructed in the district to house a casino, with the first structure being erected of wood in 1880. Considered a symbol of the city of Constanța, the current structure was built in Art Nouveau style, designed and built according to the plans of Daniel Renard and inaugurated in August 1910.[2] The current Casino was used for gambling operations for 38 years, with interruptions due to the two world wars: attacked and bombed by Bulgarian and German troops in World War I, ravaged in World War II, and, at one point, acting as a makeshift wartime hospital. In 1948, it was transformed into a community centre, and in 1960, it was handed to the National Office of Tourism, which converted it into a restaurant. The last major repairs took place in 1986-1988, and the building was abandoned until 2019. Currently, it is under renovation again.[3]
