Why Visit the Brighton Royal Pavilion?
The Royal Pavilion at Brighton exemplifies the eccentricity of 19th-century King George IV. His affinity for Oriental decor is evident in the palace's Indo-Saracenic revival architecture, Chinese porcelain, bamboo-like furniture, and decor featuring dragons and lotus flowers. Restored to its original splendor, the former royal residence contains numerous details referencing Asia.
The carefully curated regency-style gardens provide an excellent introduction to the palace. Inside, visitors will uncover the 18th- and 19th-century history of the estate, as well as the impact of the First World War on Brighton and the UK. The Royal Pavilion functioned as a hospital during the war, converting its music rooms into medical care areas for the wounded.
The striking architecture and fascinating history of the Royal Pavilion solidify its status as a must-see monument in Brighton.
