The casino was built in the early 20th century in the Art Nouveau style, located on the shore of the Black Sea.Until WWII, Casino Royale became a major attraction for European royalty and the elite-class.In the early 1900s the casino even hosted a royal gala for the Russian Imperial Family.During WWI and WWII the casino has been used as a hospital for the wounded. After years of immense success, the casino went into decay. This felt like winning the jackpot with this impressive image as its result. Once inside I could catch a glimpse of all its beauty. In front of the casino there was a big market, as a result of this I could not make my envisioned outside shot. The renovation has started and a fence surrounds the premises along with 24/7 security. I was actually late, I found out as I entered the building. Photographing this beautiful abandoned casino is something that has been on my bucket list for a while now.
