Mamaia casino, Historic casino in Mamaia, Romania.
Mamaia Casino is a modernist leisure complex on the Black Sea coast featuring a central pavilion, dining facilities, and side buildings with cabins. The facility comprises several connected structures arranged to create a comprehensive resort area.
The complex was inaugurated in 1935 when King Carol II attended the opening ceremony of this entertainment destination. This moment marked a turning point in the development of Romanian coastal tourism.
During the interwar years, the complex served as a modern leisure destination with a restaurant, beach cabins, and a distinctive maritime bar accessible by a walkway extending into the sea. Visitors experienced a refined setting that embodied how people enjoyed the Black Sea coast during that period.
The complex sits near numerous hotels and is easily accessible by public transportation from Constanta and other Romanian coastal destinations. The site is well-connected to nearby accommodations and coastal attractions.
Between 1945 and 1958, the Red Army used the complex as a club while Soviet command headquarters operated from the adjacent Hotel Ialta. This period represents an unusual chapter in the site's history.
