Photographer's Note
The Real Casino of Murcia, commonly known as Murcia Casino, 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 Trapera 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 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century in Spain and was declared a national historical-artistic monument in 1983, which is why it is currently considered well of cultural interest, with the category of "monument".
The building is the headquarters of the institution of the same name, which functions as a private club. Open to tourist visits and other events, it is the most visited civil building in the Region of Murcia and, counting only the organized groups, it is visited annually by an average of 150,000 people, of whom 25,000 are foreigners.
After a period of increasing deterioration caused by the crisis of the institution, the building has been deeply restored between 2006 and 2009. On the occasion of the completion of the restoration work, King Juan Carlos I of Spain granted the Casino de Murcia the title of Real.
Formerly the cultural casinos were used mainly by people of high social status. This dates from 1847 when a group of bourgeois partners sought a place of leisure and recreation, although it was not until 1853 when they occupy the current space of the house of the Count of Campo Hermoso. The Casino has undergone successive reforms over time, which have led to beautiful interior spaces such as the Ballroom, the Congresillo, the Ladies' Dresser or the beautiful library.
It has a restaurant serving members as well as the general public, open in one of its rooms and patio.

Hola Luis,
what an amazing architecture!
I like very much the rich decorative details but I also like how you have presented it.
From this angle you have combined two fragments of the architecture.
The arch frames the gallery inside so well. The slightly contrasts with each other exhibiting different color temperatures.
It seems you have selected the most interesting fragments as well and best lit because the bottom part is in the shade.
Great choice, and a very impressive effect!
Excellent work,
M

Hello Luis,
This is a very well composed photo from a magnificent building. The walls are so marvellously decorated and you handled the light so perfectly well. I like the contrast between the cold blue tone of the nearest wall and the warm golden glow inside the large room. You captured it with perfect symmetry and sharpness.
Kind regards,
Gert

Hello Luis,
I admit I don't understand why this wonderful building is not better known in the world. It is really an architectural gem.
Also Murcia is not really frequented much by foreigners. Only by Spanish visitors.
Excellent sharp presentation of the fantastic architecture. Wonderful with its different colours!
Great composition!
Best regards, Paul

Luis, el arquitecto que diseo el casino de Murcia, se inspiro claramente en la arquitectura islamica de mezquitas y madrazas. La piedra del arco y las paredes ha sido tallada como encaje. El resultado es est騁ico y armonioso comparable a los monumentos que se pueden visitar en el mundo Arabe y en el Oriente Medio. Vivos colores, buen punto de vista, excelente calidad de imagen. Saludos cordiales.

Hola, Luis!
La influencia 疵abe se ve bastante evidente en la arquitectura de este hermoso edificio, y me gusta la iluminacin del interior que le da bonitos tonos m疽 c疝idos, que hacen un fuerte contraste con la parte de fuera, todo captado con muy buena nitidez! Excelente trabajo!

This scene resembles similar Islamic styled architecture in Cordoba. The arch makes a nice frame and sharpness is superb. Amazing repetition of patterns and shapes. Tfs!
