Thomas Jefferson designed the Rotunda as the centerpiece of his "academical village," now the University of Virginia. It was modeled after the Pantheon in Rome and was meant to represent the achievements of the enlightened human mind. Jefferson died on July 4, 1826 and did not live to see the completed construction; the Rotunda was finished later that year.
