In the middle of Central Park, high up on a hill and with its distinctive cone-shaped corner tower, sits the Victorian Belvedere Castle, a granite building that since the 20th century has housed the New York Meteorological Observatory. The two terraces offer splendid views; on one side is the Ramble, a must for birdwatchers, and on the other, Turtle Pond, next to the Delacorte Theater, which hosts the popular “Shakespeare in the Park” festival, featuring performances by famous theater and movie actors that are well worth watching!
