The Royal Pavilion is unmistakable for its cluster of bulbous domes and slender minarets that rise above the city center, a profile inspired by Indian Mughal architecture. Built in three stages between seventeen eighty-seven and eighteen twenty-two, this former royal retreat began as a modest villa for the Prince of Wales, later King George the Fourth. He transformed his seaside lodging into an opulent pleasure palace, blending exotic exterior forms with lavish interiors designed in a Chinese-inspired style.
