The "Sea Casino" Cultural Center is one of Burgas's most iconic buildings, situated amidst the greenery of the Seaside Park and overlooking the sea. Built in 1938 as the city's seaside casino, it quickly became a favorite entertainment venue for locals and guests. After a period of decline in the late 20th century, the building was fully restored and reopened in 2011 as a modern cultural center. Today, the Sea Casino houses several exhibition halls and multi-purpose spaces where art exhibitions, literary evenings, film screenings, concerts, children's workshops and other cultural events are held. Open year-round with a diverse program, the cultural center has established itself as the heart of Burgas’s creative life.
