On 13 January 2020, the Ministry of Development issued the order to start work on the Constanța Casino, and two days later the restoration work began. The investment will take 30 months to complete. The works will be handed over in 2024.
@1110101010101 For any foreigners stumbling to this thread - this is an iconic building of Constanța, sort of like the Sydney Opera House. Luckily, renovation works are already ongoing, and the building currently looks like this. The works are scheduled to be completed in 2024 and the building reopened to the public, hopefully.
Edit: also a fun fact - In the walls of it, the workers found a note written on a piece of cement bag belonging to the political prisoners who previously repaired it in the 1950s:

I'm not saying vampires live there, but if vampires existed, they would live there.

If abandoned, can I claim it as my house?

@Enlarging5805 it's owned by the municipality afaik, so unless you can prove the state took it from you under the communist regime, most likely not.
Sorry to spoil your dreams! 🙁
