Places to see in ( Murcia - Spain ) Real Casino de Murcia
The Real Casino de Murcia , commonly known as Casino de Murcia , is one of the most emblematic buildings of the city of the same name, capital of the Region of Murcia ( Spain ). It is located in the center of it, in Trapería street , not far from the cathedral . The building, whose construction began in 1847 is a mixture of different artistic currents that coexisted in the second half of the nineteenth century and early twentieth century in Spain and was declared a national historical-artistic monumentin 1983, so it is now considered to be of cultural interest , with the category of ' monument '.
The building is the seat of the institution of the same name, which functions as a private club. Open to sightseeing and other events, it is the most visited civil building in the Region of Murcia 2 and, with only organized groups, are visited annually by an average of 150 000 people, of which 25 000 are foreign.
After a period of increasing deterioration caused by the crisis of the institution, the building has been deeply restored between the years 2006 and 2009. On the occasion of the completion of restoration works, King Juan Carlos I of Spain awarded the Casino de Murcia the title of Real .
The façade of Trapería Street, early 20th century, is eclectic with modernist and historicist influences designed by Pedro Cerdán . On both sides of the main door are two glass halls, popularly known for their appearance as peceras , whose exquisite decoration by Manuel Castaños was reused in the Palace of Parque Florido, now home to the Lázaro Galdiano Museum in Madrid.
The entrance door and a small Neo-Baroque lobby are accessed through the Arab Patio, whose spectacular Neo- Roman style decoration , by Manuel Castaños , required more than 20 000 sheets of gold leaf . The starry vault that covers the patio is the highest part of the building. An inscription in Arabic that reads Nothing greater than Allah is repeated all along the perimeter.
Another dependence that can be visited is the library , built in 1913 , with its upper gallery of carved wood, supported by cast iron corbels representing flamingos, and thousands of volumes in antique bindings. The ladies' dressing table is decorated with feminine allegories of the goddess Selene painted on the ceiling, while the tea room has a spectacular plaster ceiling, fully recovered after its collapse in the late 1970s .
The courtyard named Pompeian is neoclassical style and has in the center a Venus , work of Jose Planes , on a pedestal with episodes of the life of Zeus . The most notable dependence of the building is the ballroom, a large neo-baroque double height space dating from 1875 . The ceilings are decorated with allegories of poetry, painting, music and architecture, as well as portraits of illustrious Murcians such as José Moñino, Count of Floridablanca , sculptor Francisco Salzillo , painter Nicolás de Villacis and actor Julián Romea . On the walls we find stuccoes with allegories of the dance. The floor is parquet inlaid five chandeliers of Baccarat crystal give light to the room with more than seven hundred bulbs.
