Real Casino de Murcia
1 / 8
Real Casino de Murcia - by Management
Description
The Casino de Murcia is a private club housed in a building also open to public visits in the centre of the city. It was built in the second half of the 19th century and mixes various architectural styles (eclectic, modernist, neo-baroque, etc.). Highlights include the Ballroom, the Arab Patio, the 'Pompeian' courtyard and the English library.
Access & Transport
The building is in the center of the city, on Calle Traperia, 100m north of the Cathedral. There are buses stopping on Gran Via and C. Isidoro de la Cierva (100m at the back). It is a 15mins walk (1.2km) to the train station. Murcia is 230km south of Valencia, 85km from Alicante and 150km southeast of Albacete.
Instructions & Recommendations
The website states that there is a strict dress code ('smartly dressed').
Environmental & Social
Minor environmental impact (mostly electricity). Part of the architectural and artistic heritage of the city
Conclusion
It is not often that a private club (don't expect a Monte Carlo style of casino) can be visited by the non-members and this one is very special indeed with lavish deco to the point of being quite bling. Best for those who enjoy art and architecture.
