Today it&#8217;s the turn of the iconic <em>place du Casino.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>What would Monaco have become without its Casino? A legendary venue that has contributed to the Principality&#8217;s fame and its wealth, the Casino is instantly recognisable. And yet, its outline has changed several times over its history.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>SEE ALSO: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.monaco-tribune.com\/en\/2022\/05\/a-picture-postcard-le-larvotto\/\">A picture postcard: Le Larvotto<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>First off, the Casino de Monaco has not always stood where it is today.<\/p>\n\n<p>In 1856, the Principality had just lost Menton and Roquebrune. To replenish its coffers, Prince Charles III opened the first Casino of Monaco in the Villa Bellevue, in the La Condamine neighbourhood. <\/p>\n\n<p>In 1862, the Casino moved on to the Rocher, on the place du Palais, in the Hotel de Russie. However, due to a lack of space and the inability to provide accommodation for players from Nice, after their four-hour horsedrawn omnibus ride, the Casino moved permanently to its present location.<\/p>\n\n<p>At the time Monte-Carlo was still only a deserted plateau, but Fran\u00e7ois Blanc, the founder of the SBM, decided to situate the Casino on the Plateau des Sp\u00e9lugues where he could have all the space he wanted. In this location, the Casino gained a magnificent view of the Mediterranean, and a site to build the Hotel de Paris, where visiting gamblers could be accommodated. <\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"585\" src=\"https:\/\/www.monaco-tribune.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/1863-compressed-1024x585.jpg\" alt=\"Casino-monte-carlo-1863\" class=\"wp-image-125509\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.monaco-tribune.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/1863-compressed-1024x585.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.monaco-tribune.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/1863-compressed-525x300.jpg 525w, https:\/\/www.monaco-tribune.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/1863-compressed.jpg 1491w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption><em>@ Jean-Paul Bascoul<\/em> &#8211; <em>The Casino in 1863<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n<p>In 1864, the H\u00f4tel de Paris was built, and the complex was inaugurated in 1865.

This was also the date of the inauguration of the Nice &#8211; Ventimiglia railway line, which contributed to the influx of more than 170,000 tourists to the area. <\/p>\n\n<p>In the 1870s, an extension was built on to the left of the Casino. The entrance was extended and a rooftop clock added, while the Casino&#8217;s original three pediments disappeared. The fountain that adorns the square in front of the Casino was enhanced with vegetation, street lamps and balustrades.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"616\" src=\"https:\/\/www.monaco-tribune.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/vers-1870-compressed-1024x616.jpg\" alt=\"Casino-monte-carlo-1870\" class=\"wp-image-125516\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.monaco-tribune.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/vers-1870-compressed-1024x616.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.monaco-tribune.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/vers-1870-compressed-499x300.jpg 499w, https:\/\/www.monaco-tribune.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/vers-1870-compressed.jpg 1837w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption><em>\u00a9 Jean-Paul Bascoul &#8211; The Casino around 1870<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"388\" src=\"https:\/\/www.monaco-tribune.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/monte-carlo-le-casino-et-lh_tel-de-paris-vers-1880-1024x388.jpg\" alt=\"Casino-Hotel-de-Paris-1870\" class=\"wp-image-125541\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.monaco-tribune.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/monte-carlo-le-casino-et-lh_tel-de-paris-vers-1880-1024x388.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.monaco-tribune.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/monte-carlo-le-casino-et-lh_tel-de-paris-vers-1880-600x227.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.monaco-tribune.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/monte-carlo-le-casino-et-lh_tel-de-paris-vers-1880.jpg 1470w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption><em>\u00a9 Jean-Paul Bascoul \u2013 The Casino on the left, the H\u00f4tel de Paris in the background and the Caf\u00e9 de Paris on the right around 1870<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n<p>In 1879, the Monte-Carlo Opera, built by Charles Garnier, the same architect as the Paris Opera, was inaugurated behind the Casino.
