Description
The University of Virginia holds a special place in my heart. My kids and husband went there and I have many fond memories of this beautiful university.
Probably the most recognizable place on the university grounds is the UVA Rotunda, part of what is generally known as the UVA lawn complex.
The Rotunda was designed by Thomas Jefferson to represent the "authority of nature and power of reason" and was inspired by the Pantheon in Rome. Construction began in 1822 and was completed shortly after Jefferson's death in 1826. The grounds of the university are unique in that they surrounded a library housed in the Rotunda rather than a church, as was common at other universities in the English-speaking world. The Rotunda is seen as a lasting symbol of Jefferson's belief in the separation of church and education, as well as his lifelong dedication to both education and architecture. It was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1966, and is part of the landmark University of Virginia Historic District, designated in 1971.
The college and the immediate area around it, and Jefferson's nearby home at Monticello combine to form one of only four modern man-made sites in the United States to be internationally protected and preserved as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO (the other three are the San Antonio Missions, the Statue of Liberty and Independence Hall).
Also available in color.
