Monte Carlo Casino

The first gambling house in Europe, one of the oldest and most respectable casinos in the world, has a rich history and cultural traditions. The first casino building was opened in 1862, but soon almost completely burned down in a fire, there was only a gaming room 5, which after restoration was turned into a lobby, through which every visitor must pass. The architect of the second Casino building was Charles Garnier, the author of the Opera House in Paris. In 1878, Garnier built a magnificent palace, which houses a casino and an opera house. The casino consists of several halls that are buried in luxury. The walls of all salons are hung with paintings. The Opera House, called the Garnier Hall, is the most beautiful of all the halls of the Casino.
