So apparently medieval architects discovered border-radius centuries before we started fighting with it in CSS. Look at those perfectly rounded arches and decorative borders on this 16th-century building โ€“ someone clearly spent hours getting those curves just right, probably muttering "why won't this align properly" in Latin.

The building's got that classic orange color scheme with white borders that honestly looks like someone's first attempt at a website design. You know, the kind where you discover the border property and just go absolutely wild with it. Those scalloped edges at the top? That's just border-style: decorative taken to the extreme.

Fun fact: Renaissance architects had to manually calculate these curves using geometry and mathematical principles. Meanwhile, we're over here in 2024 still Googling "how to center a div" for the 847th time. They built this masterpiece with compasses and rulers; we have DevTools and still manage to break the layout on mobile.
