Designed by Sir Christopher Wren, the complex originally served as the Royal Hospital for Seamen, providing care for naval veterans. Completed in the early 18th century, the site is renowned for its Baroque architecture, including the iconic twin domes. Today, the Old Royal Naval College is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and houses the University of Greenwich and Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance.
