The beautiful Buckingham Palace was built by the 1st Duke of Buckingham in 1703 and acquired by King George III in 1762. Originally known as the Buckingham House, it was refurbished and enlarged considerably during the 1820's, and was renamed as the Buckingham Palace by King George IV. On the accession of Queen Victoria in 1837, it was finally declared the official royal palace of the British monarch.
