Royal Pavilion
A striking landmark with its Indo-Saracen dome and ornate interiors, the Royal Pavilion was once King George IV's (Uncle of Queen Victoria and the son of King George III and the brother of William IV) residence. King George IV was a pleasure monarch who also remodelled the Windsor Castle. In the garden of the Royal Pavillion, there are large collections of the Brighton Museum and Art Gallery from fine art to decoration which you will see. The Royal Pavilion began as a humble lodging house in the 18th century. The Prince of Wales, Architect Henry Holland helped George turn his humble seaside retreat into a beautiful, neoclassical villa– the Marine Pavilion. In 1815 the eminent architect John Nash was hired by George, the Prince Regent, to redesign it in Indian style. The work was finished in 1823 when George was reigning. It is the building that you see today, an instantly recognizable symbol of Brighton. We will visit the Royal Pavillion today.
