What to expect
The story of the Constanta Casino is sadly the story of Romania’s many splendid, yet abandoned historical monuments. A great piece of Art Nouveau architecture from the early 20th century, the Casino was once the symbol of Romania’s main port, Constanta, on the shore of the Black Sea. No other monument illustrates so perfectly the Belle Epoque in Constanta like the building of the Casino. Dating from the first years of the last century, the Casino was built at the initiative of Romania’s first King, Carol the 1st. It was inaugurated in 1910, and until the Second World War, it was the main seaside meeting point for the rich tourists who enjoyed to gamble. The foundations of the Constanta Casino were modified three times depending on the architects’ perspectives, Daniel Renard and Petre Antonescu. An eclectic piece of architecture, with many marine-inspired decorations, including its almost surreal shell windows facing the Black Sea, the Casino was the place where you were received.

Construction began on 24 June 1910 with the first cornerstone laid in the presence of Spiru Haret, contemporary Romanian Minister of Religious Affairs; Sefa Bey, contemporary Ottoman ambassador in Bucharest; and the Ottoman consul in Constanța.

The former Independence Square (now Ovidiu Square), where they found the town hall (now the seat of National Museum of History and Archaeology) is a place full of history. Towards the end of the nineteenth century, Ovidiu Square general line was given by houses with two levels stuck together (describing the square as a medieval inner courtyard), roof tiles, wrought iron balconies. The square was full of shops, cafes, summer gardens, etc. In 1879 they took the first steps to align the buildings. In the last decade of the nineteenth century the eastern front (seaward) was completed. The architects have thought it high to protect the square against the winds. In the space disposed in front of the statue of Ovid were three buildings that combined unitary Baroque decorations with Art Nouveau elements. Here there were the Elite Hotel, a restaurant, a coffee shop and cinema Palace. In 1910 was built in Romanian style the building that houses today the National Bank of Romania.
