Step Back in Time: Discovering the Charming Art Nouveau Casino in Baile Herculane(Romania)
Baile Herculane used to be one of Romania's most captivating and popular tourist destinations, known for its majestic appeal and historical significance. Its splendor can be traced back to Roman times when emperors and esteemed soldiers sought its healing thermal baths.
Even today, Baile Herculane remains a sought-after option for tourists year-round. While summer sees the peak of the tourist season, visitors can be found in the town every single day of the year.
Although I'm no longer a tourist in Baile Herculane, as I spent my childhood there, I still find certain places worth exploring and capturing through photography, despite some being in a state of decay. One such place is the old casino.
The casino stands as a testament to the grandeur and sophistication of the early 20th century. It served as a vital hub for social gatherings and entertainment, attracting visitors from all over Romania and beyond. Designed in the Art Nouveau style, the casino boasts intricate details, ornate decorations, and a majestic facade, evoking the charm of the Belle Époque era.
While the pictures I took reveal some attempts at restoration made in recent years starting from 2012, the casino is no longer functional. Although a few small restaurants occupy the area, they pale in comparison to the grandeur that once defined the casino.
I have a particular fondness for photographing old structures as they serve as a testament to the relentless power of time. While I don't have any pictures of the casino's interior, I did manage to capture its essence through the exterior shots.
I hope you appreciate them. Wishing you all a delightful Saturday evening, and I'll see you again tomorrow.
Thanks for your attention,
Adrian
Superb! I have always been fascinated by Baile Herculane and have never been there. I hope to find a time when I can visit.
Unbelievable that such a place has been left to decay. I don't think there is another country where stupidity and thievery are so great!
We are definitely not the only ones of this kind, but it's more painful when you're in the middle of the fuckery...
Of course, we are not alone, unfortunately, or fortunately.
Congratulations, your post has been added to Pinmapple! 🎉🥳🍍

I've been to Băile Herculane many times, I really like the area, but I've never come across this jewel, I even made a note to myself to go there next time.
E chiar in centru.
Am trecut de atatea ori si efectiv nu l-am vazut, cu siguranta data viitoare cand voi reveni in Baile Herculane voi trece si pe acolo, sper ca totusi cineva sa se gandeasca si la statiunea asta ca este tare frumoasa.
