The Constanta Casino’s story is eventful and has twists and turns every step of the way. The story of Constanta Casino in Romania starts about 150 years ago on the Black Sea shore. Ever since the beginning, the gambling location was a gathering point for nobles, artists, and other wealthy people. On 15 August 1910, King Carol I, Prince Ferdinand, ministers, nobles, the elite, and their guests entered Cazino Constanța and remained stunned. This was also one of the first buildings with electricity, gas, and options for more modern inventions. For most of the Casino Constanta’s history, the gambling and entertainment location was opened and served as a great example of a wonderful place for fun. The rest of the time, the building was under repair because of the damage caused by humans and nature. Despite the setbacks, it is still one of the most beautiful and famous buildings in Constanța, Romania. The "Genovez" lighthouse is a historical monument located in the historical center of the city of Constanța, near the Casino of Constanța. At the beginning of the last century, King Charles I and Queen Elizabeth founded the largest mosque, at that time, in all of non-Muslim Europe. The Cathedral of the Holy Apostles Peter and Paul has a very impressive building architecture. Around the cathedral there is a park with an archaeological complex, in which elements of the old city of Tomis are identified. The Museum Complex of Natural Sciences in Constanța contains not only the Dolphinarium, but also the Planetarium, the Aquarium and a Micro-reservation.
