Murcia Casino
As the saying goes, "if walls could talk." the old and well-loved Casino could tell us many stories, tales and anecdotes, which are an important part of the history of the city, sometimes as the protagonist, at others the silent witness. That, together with the unique beauty of the building, has made the Casino one of the important parts of Murcia's identity, and one of which the Murcians feel very proud.
