Belvedere


What Is A Belvedere?
A belvedere (from Italian for "beautiful view") is an architectural structure sited to take advantage of a fine or scenic view. The term has been used both for rooms in the upper part of a building or structures on the roof, or a separate pavilion in a garden or park. The actual structure can be of any form or style, including a turret, a cupola, or an open gallery.
At Coolmore Plantation the grand belvedere was used to cool the house durning our hot southern summers. When you open the belvedere windows, it sucks all the hot air out of the house.!The fabulous view was just an added perk and bonus.
