About

Belvedere Castle was designed by Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux in the late 1800s. An architectural hybrid of  Gothic  and  Romanesque  styles, Vaux's design called for a more weighty Manhattan  schist  and  granite  structure with a corner tower with conical cap, with the existing lookout over parapet walls between them. Belvedere means 'beautiful view' or 'panoramic view' in Italian and the castle provides impressive views across Central Park and New York City. It was designed as an additional feature of the Central Park.
