The Casino in Constanta, one of the emblematic buildings of Romania, with spectacular architectural details in the Art Nouveau style, is in full process of consolidation and restoration.

A delegation led by the Minister of Development, Public Works and Administration, Adrian Ioan Veștea, which also includes representatives of the National Investment Company (CNI), visited the Casino in Constanta, to check the status of the works.

The Minister of Development, Adrian Veştea, announced on Monday, July 10, that the modernization works at the Casino in Constanta will end in May 2024, and a series of additional works will take place that were not included in the initial project.

“As far as we can all see, it is making pretty good progress on the old contract. It follows that part of the works that emerged as a result of the project and according to the findings made at the time of the implementation of these works, are to be carried out as a result of an acquisition procedure which, by the way, is ongoing. The National Investment Company will do everything in its power so that this objective is presented to the public as quickly as possible. I understand that next year, starting in April, May at the latest because the additional works will extend until May, we will have an objective that will be completed and that will be made available to all those who are either from Constanta or will visit Constanta, because I understand that there will also be a museum in the basement and there will be a series of spaces intended for various activities”, said Adrian Veştea.

The representative of the builder Aedificia Carpați, Petre Badea, stated that, at this moment, the physical degree of execution of the works is about 75%.
“Part of the works is in the ongoing procurement procedure. The floors, interior and exterior carpentry. Initially, it was said that we were restoring the floors, which were from Ruschița, but, because we have to restore the concrete floors, naturally we dismantled them. Decorative marble floors are now being made, with designs imitating ceilings. There is more in the eastern area of the Casino, basically a ruin, and we hope to do the consolidation by the end of the year, but there the finishes are simple, because there are technical spaces and the cabins for the actors. For the decoration part, we have 4 more rooms, to which we also add the “hall of mirrors”, where the floorboards need to be reinforced” said Petre Badea.

For the remaining 25% of the works, 60 million lei are still needed, and the money is there.

The restoration work at the Casino in Constanta should have been completed in August 2022, but last year, the term was extended until March 2023 or even until December 2023, and now, June 2024 is mentioned, for the inauguration of the edifice.

The Constanta casino is a building built in 1909, on the cliff, in the vicinity of Regina Elisabeta Boulevard. It is one of the emblematic buildings of Constanta, built in Art Nouveau style, according to the plans of the architect Petre Antonescu.
