Belvedere

A Belvedere is an architectural feature or structure, often a tower or pavilion, designed to provide a scenic view of the surrounding landscape. Originating from Italian, meaning "beautiful view," it typically serves as a vantage point for enjoying the scenery, often situated on elevated ground or as part of a garden or estate. Belvederes can be decorative or functional, enhancing the aesthetic appeal of a property while offering a space for relaxation and appreciation of nature. They are common in historic gardens, parks, and estate designs, blending architecture with nature to create visually appealing and functional viewpoints.
