All the buildings on UVA grounds are very spread out. It would take a while to cover everything on foot. You can tell how rooted the history is in the school by the buildings. The pillars, murals, etc. all encompass our rich tradition. The gem of UVA is the Rotunda though. It was based on the Pantheon in Rome. Right in front of the Rotunda is the Lawn (literally a giant spread out grassy area), where people play frisbee, tan, study, picnic, etc.

Everyone, including friends visiting from other schools are amazed by the rich history present at the university. The old fashioned buildings with pillars, especially the lawn contribute to the history of the university. The Rotunda on the lawn is the main part of the grounds that captures everyone's attention. It's structure with dome and pillars along with old fashioned rooms on the Lawn where prestigious students can live all contribute to the history that Thomas Jefferson left behind. The University's library is considered the backup to the Library of Congress and also shows the wealth of resources present at the university. Families and prospective students are usually amazed behind the traditions and history unique to the University of Virginia.

To be honest it’s one of the most beautiful campuses in the US, just ask anyone. It looks like an estate of old southern architecture, with a colonial flare. The Rotunda and the Lawn at UVA are one of the most beautiful areas at UVA and at any other campus. When you first step on grounds it is just magnificent, every building has its own character. It’s as if your back with Jefferson and Franklin themselves since the buildings are all well preserved and mirror the buildings of that era.
