Charlottesville, a college town at the foot of the Blue Ridge Mountains in central Virginia, USA, is known for its rich history and vibrant cultural scene. It is the hometown of Thomas Jefferson, the third president of the United States, whose designed home, Monticello, is a World Heritage Site, as is the University of Virginia, which was the first public university in the United States to be independent of religion. Centered around the Courthouse Historic District, the city retains 18th-century architecture and Revolutionary War-era relics, while incorporating modern art galleries, farm-to-table restaurants and a thriving wine industry. As the gateway to Virginia's "Wine Trail," the neighborhood is dotted with wineries and hosts diverse events such as the annual Virginia Film Festival, which attracts history buffs, scholars, and tourists alike to explore its unique charms.
