The circle as a reference of divinity, humanity, science. A symbol that brings the image of perfection to our mind.
The circle as a sign of Everything and Heaven. Symbolize something which is Sacred and Perfection. Without start or end, symbolize Eternity. In architecture, the circle is used since old ages: from domes that rise from a circular base to watchtowers with a round ground plan, as well as military fortifications, cities, and castles. Looking for the stability and the strength that the round and close geometry will serve as a protection. For example, in old buildings and constructions, like the rocks in Stonehenge placed in a circle, the Rose Windows in the front fac;ade of a cathedral, the center of a Christian temple where the dome rises.
The cercle in the solar disc. The sun, Creator of Light and Fire, the basic elements for Life on Earth.
