Begun in 1787 and completed in 1823, the Royal Pavilion was the seaside residence for monarchs George IV, William IV, and Victoria. During World War I, it was converted into a military hospital for Indian soldiers wounded while fighting for the British Empire.

Today the building and grounds serve as a museum.
