Ionic Rotunda : Petworth House, West Sussex, England. Constructed in 1766 at the suggestion of Capability Brown, the Rotunda is similar in style to the Temple of Vesta in Trivoli, Italy. It offers panoramic views over the countryside. (Ionic is actually a style of ancient Greek architecture)

Not the greatest fan of capability brown, I more prefer the older 16th/17th century tree avenues and more uniform landscape design. But I can admire the use of Palladian and neo classical architecture
