When in the western part of Sanremo one will not fail to see the big white building in Liberty style, as the Art Nouveau was called in Italy. Two small towers at the front, arched gates on the ground floor, culumns on the upper floor. A work by a French architect from 1905, when it was started more as a German-style 'Kursaal' with theater performances, concerts and some hidden gambling on the side. Sanremo was by then one of the most popular destinations for affluent people of Northern Europe, and since in the neighbouring French Riviera, especially at Nice, Cannes, Menton and most famously Monte Carlo there had already been casinos, Italy finally decided in 1927 to legalize the so far only tolerated gambling at Sanremo. Casinos (an Italian word meaning 'small house') were started in Italy with a Casino in Venice already as of 1638.

We actually didn’t like San Remo,pretty boring city,but thanks to casino it made sense. No dress code noticed from our side. We wore a casual clothing and didn’t get any comments about our appearance. The public is really interesting. Nice old ladies and gentlemen in suits and dresses. They are good players and seem to be an immortal part of casino. In comparison with Monaco we noticed less luxury but more tables and gambling machines. I highly recommend.…

I discovered this beautiful building whilst sightseeing in San Remo. I’d highly recommend looking out for it as it is surrounded by an array of opulent buildings. Sorry I did not enter the casino as I was not dressed appropriately!

It is very grand from the outside but the the interior with slot machines lacked what the outside suggested. If you want a grand European casino keep driving to Monte Carlo. But if you love slot machines then this is your place
