Belvedere Castle

Gothic & Romanesque castle from 1869 set on Vista Rock (the park's highest point) with park views.

"Designed by Calvert Vaux and Jacob Wrey Mould, Belvedere Castle is in the middle of Central Park was originally meant to only be ornamental but, over the past century, it has become a weather tower. Visitors from around the world climb the stairs of the castle daily, admiring the view of Central Park, including Turtle Pond and the Delacorte Theater. The attraction is particularly popular in the early morning." [Time Out]
