Royal Pavilion

Royal Pavilion

The Royal Pavilion also known as the Brighton Pavilion is a former royal residence located in Brighton, England. It was built in three stages, beginning in 1787, as a seaside retreat for George, Prince of Wales, who became the Prince Regent in 1811. It is built in the Indo-Saracenic style prevalent in India for most of the 19th century. The current appearance of the Pavilion, with its domes and minarets, is the work of architect John Nash, who extended the building starting in 1815.
