The casino, built in Baroque style by the Austrian architect Carl Wilhelm Christian Doderer in 1864, recalls the elegance of Vienna's imperial aristocracy, including a sumptuous performance hall, restaurant and a bazaar with 14 vaults and 12 imposing windows. Upstairs is the "Silver Hall", the place where the elites gathered to indulge in gambling.
Opulent balls were held on the terrace of the Casino in the resort on the bank of the Cerna, where the aristocrats danced the waltz under candlelight, recalling the imperial splendor of Vienna. The special evenings of the time proved to be a precious source of inspiration for artists, the composer Jakob Mathias Pazeller dedicating a waltz piece to this building in 1903. The waltz piece can be heard by following the link: https://youtu.be/9HIqegmfYpo

The Central Park is located in the center of the Spa Architecture Ensemble made up of the Decebal Hotel, the Casino building and the Traian Hotel. This park was built in 1886 and is the main element of the architectural ensemble, around which the buildings, historic monuments of spa architecture, gravitate.
As soon as you step into the park, you will be attracted by the picturesque image of the gazebo, the place where the brass band played on holidays. As you climb the steps, the Sequoia gigantea tree, planted in 1862, greets you, standing majestically and silently testifying to the story of the building that looms before you, in the air you can feel the scent of the memories of the past to which it was witness for more than a century.

The tower in Cacova-Grădinari is part of a once extensive military organization, after 1250. It is likely that the tower was part of a construction that at first had no religious purpose, and only after 1360 when the paramilitary fortification was abandoned, the locals framed the tower in the architecture of an orthodox church.
