Throughout its long history, Dover has been at the forefront of the island's development, leaving a rich legacy of architectural marvels spanning from Roman times to the present day. Notable landmarks include the Roman Pharos lighthouse, standing tall on the iconic white cliffs, and the "Painted House," a medieval structure with a distinctive painted facade.
