In 1787, construction began on The Royal Pavilion, which was built to be a seaside getaway for King George IV, who was at the time still the Prince of Wales. Today, this large and stately building still bears a lot of evidence of its royal occupants over the years, and its domed, Oriental-style architecture and minarets stand out starkly against the more traditional English architecture of the rest of Brighton. Visitors to the Royal Pavilion can come daily to see the opulent rooms and buildings and learn about the Pavilion’s history throughout the ages, from its start as a royal residence to its role as a military hospital during World War I.
