I know this building doesn’t look like a casino, but it was once upon a time. It is on Constanta’s main boardwalk and is a lovely sight. Believe it or not, Constanta Casino has served not just as a casino and a restaurant, but also a temporary wartime hospital. It last served as a „House of Culture”, but it is currently abandoned because of high operational costs.You don’t actually have to go inside, but you can enjoy an evening walk around it and watch the sunset. What excites us is the fact that it was announced the start of rehabilitation works, which means the Casino will continue to attract millions of tourists.
