Designed by Thomas Jefferson

From the architectural pen of the third President, Thomas Jefferson came not only UVA`s Rotonda and Pavilions but also his characteristic “Serpent Walls”, known to all students of this famous campus.

Being curved the walls can support themselves so are able to be made only one brick thick. If the wall had been straight it would have to have been at least two bricks thick, otherwise it may have collapsed!
