In the 19th century, a castle was built on the top of Vista Rock, a 450-million-year-old rock. Until the 1960s, this location was used by the New York Meteorological Observatory to predict the weather. The name Belvedere comes from the Italian and means "beautiful view" and is absolutely justified.

A completely different picture in the middle of New York. A detour here is highly recommended.

Belvedere Castle was of course included in our longer walk in Central Park. From the castle you have a very nice overview of the park.
