Charlottesville and Thomas Jefferson

The Charlottesville area produced 3 of the first 5 Presidents of the United States: Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826), James Madison (1751-1836) and James Monroe (1758-1831). The 2 most visited sites are Monticello and the University of Virginia, both designed by Thomas Jefferson, and 2 of only 4 works of architecture in the country to be included on the UNESCO World Heritage List. The Jeffersonian style, or Classical Revival, was inspired by Roman classical orders. The Virginia state capitol in Richmond (1798) was based on the Maison Carrée, a Roman temple in Nîmes, France.
