About this place
The Upper Belvedere was never intended to be a home. It was a theater of power built for lavish banquets and grand festivities. The distinctive sweeping green copper roofs were deliberately designed to resemble Ottoman military tents, serving as a permanent architectural boast of Prince Eugene's victories that saved Vienna from invasion.
