| The entrance to the Royal Pavillion |
When we were in England last month, we went down to Rye. On the way back, we stopped at theRoyal Pavillion in Brighton. I will copy the wikipedia beginning below.
The Royal Pavilion, and surrounding gardens, also known as the Brighton Pavilion, is a Grade I listed former royal residence located in Brighton, England. Beginning in 1787, it was built in three stages as a seaside retreat for George, Prince of Wales, who became the Prince Regent in 1811, and King George IV in 1820. Wikipedia
It is in a style called Indo-Saracenic which is the style that England used to buildings in India in the late 1800s. You could also call it over-the-top Kitsch-y. But inside it is a riot of color and styles.
