Right in the centre of Brighton's buzzing seaside town, a huge, dazzling palace stands completely out of place, looking exactly like a magnificent temple flown in from India.
The atmosphere is instantly exciting, strange, and utterly unique, filled with the sight of onion domes, minarets, and towering white stone arches that belong in a different continent.
This incredible, hidden landmark is one of the greatest architectural surprises Britain has to offer.
This astonishing building is famous for its appearance, as the entire structure was built in the exotic, extravagant Indo-Saracenic style, which makes it look almost exactly like the Taj Mahal in India.
The grand palace was originally built as the seaside pleasure house for King George IV back in the early 19th century, who loved all things extravagant and unusual. It is a must-see for every keen walker who appreciates a giant visual shock.
The palace's most thrilling and enduring secret is that the inside is even more strange and unique than the outside, featuring huge rooms decorated in a dramatic Chinese style, complete with dragons, bamboo, and massive crystal chandeliers.
This rare mix of styles was completely shocking at the time and shows the extreme wealth and unusual tastes of the King.
This powerful history gives the whole building a sense of untouched, thrilling, and regal drama.
For visitors planning a trip, be prepared for seriously huge crowds because this place is globally famous and sits right in the middle of a very busy city, so plan your route with your sturdy boots on.
Finding a convenient car park nearby is incredibly difficult due to the city centre location and high charges, so using the train service is highly recommended.
Make sure your boot is packed with cash, as the entry fee to see the unbelievable interiors is substantial.
This perfectly unique spot is a genuinely rare piece of British history, offering a thrilling escape into a hidden world of exotic royal luxury and letting you walk through a truly unforgettable piece of architecture.
This amazing, hidden cultural secret, where an Indian palace sits on the English coast, is what we are finally revealing. The name of this fantastic Sussex gem is the Royal Pavilion, Brighton.
