The building is beautiful and was restored recently.

The casino closed after WWII, but reopened in 2005 after the necessary renovations. Now the venue is available for exhibitions and private functions.

The walls are decorated with the gilded lilies on a blue background, similar to the Florentine iris. The original ornate crystal chandeliers are still there along with some of the original furnishings.



The Royal Casino in Ponte a Seraglio, Bagni di Lucca was the first public casino in Europe. Gambling was already popular in the area and people would gather in one of the buildings in Bagni Caldi, which now houses the thermal baths, until Carlo Lodovico di Borbone commissioned Giuseppe Pardini to build the casino in 1837.
