Looking out over the ball fields from the turret of Belvedere Castle.

One of the most enchanting spectacles in
Central Park is Belvedere Castle. From its
perch on an immense outcropping of bedrock
called Vista Rock visitors to the Park can be
enthralled by the view of the Delacorte Theater,
Turtle Pond and the Great Lawn far below.
This Victorian structure with its two balconies
rises up on one of the highest natural
elevations in the Park. It is a silhouette of
distinction from the surrounding landscape
and a mystery to behold as it appears
through the tree branches to visitors who
approach through the dense underbrush
of the Ramble.
