The Royal Pavilion is a former royal residence
located in Brighton, England, United
Kingdom. 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 often referred to as the
Brighton Pavilion
It is built in the Indo-Saracenic style
prevalent in India for most of the 19th
century, with the most extravagant chinoiserie interiors ever executed
in the British Isles.
The Royal Pavilion grew over 35 years from a
simple farmhouse to a spectacular oriental
palace.
Brighton Pavilion became a temporary hospital for Indian soldiers in WW1
During the First World War, Brighton Pavilion was turned into a makeshift, if palatial, hospital for Indian servicemen wounded
while fighting for British forces
