Monticello, located near Charlottesville, Virginia, is a historic home that served as the residence and plantation of Thomas Jefferson, the third President of the United States, from 1770 until his death in 1826. As the architect, builder, and owner, Jefferson infused Monticello with his intellectual curiosity and vision for blending functionality with classical beauty. Constructed between 1768 and 1809, Monticello is a masterpiece of Palladian architecture, inspired by the principles of the Italian Renaissance architect Andrea Palladio and Jefferson's own studies of ancient Roman and Greek designs. Its domed roof, symmetrical layout, and elegant porticos are hallmarks of Jefferson’s architectural ingenuity and commitment to creating a uniquely American aesthetic. Over the years, Monticello has stood as a symbol of Jefferson’s ideals, including his passion for education, innovation, and democracy. Designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it continues to offer insight into the complexities of Jefferson's life, the institution of slavery, and the early history of the United States.
