Casino de Huesca was founded in 1877 as Círculo Oscense, a liberal club that gathered people from different backgrounds and interests. In 1901, the construction of the current building began, which is the work of architect Ildefonso Bonells and was completed in 1910.

The Casino de Huesca building is one of the most important examples of modernism in Huesca and stands out for its rich facade, adorned with ceramic tiles, columns, balconies, and sculptures. The entrance to the building is preceded by an elegant wrought iron gate, which is the work of artist José Borruel.
