Belvedere (structure)

Belvedere (occasionally Belvidere) is an architectural term.

From the Italian, literally translated as "fair view", it refers to any architectural structure built in the upper part of a building so as to command a fine view. The actual structure can be of any form, whether a turret, a cupola or an open gallery. The name can also apply to an entire building.
