What does Casino Marino mean?Ĭasino means house and Marino means sea. You will certainly be able to find older buildings, and bigger buildings, during your Dublin holiday, but you would be unlikely to find one that is as memorable or inspiring. The stones, pillars, carvings, stairs, and designs that come together to create Casino Marino are all made with beauty in mind, and there is no angle and no inch of this building that isn’t attractive and beautifully conceived. These Artists used as their tools of trade not paints and brushes, but stones and mortar.

The designer and builders of Casino Marino were artists.

Casino Marino achieves stately proportions of beauty in a building not much bigger than a house in a modern day estate by doing so it challenges our perception of what we demand in great buildings.

Rather than a building or a piece of architecture, Casino Marino can be better viewed as a wonderful work of art – one that contradicts the usual demands of great architecture towards immense size and grandeur. Despite being very small there is nothing modest about Casino Marino with its Georgian design and Neo-classical overtones and execution this building is as luxurious inside as it is stunning outside.
