More about this scene
The centrepiece of Brighton was and remains the extraordinary Pavilion or seaside palace. Built as a farmhouse, then a classical villa, it was finally transformed by John Nash into this romantic Hindoo, Mahometan fantasy bedecked with domes and minarets between 1813 and 1822 for the Prince Regent who became George IV in 1820. Brighton boomed during the Prince's long association with the town, but in 1846 Parliament voted to sell the Pavilion. Fortunately the town bought it and it survives.
