One unique feature is its striking tiled roof decorated with colorful patterns representing various symbols including the coat-of-arms of Vienna.
Belvedere Palace consists of two magnificent Baroque palaces set amidst beautifully landscaped gardens that were originally commissioned by Prince Eugene of Savoy in the early 18th century; this masterpiece reflects his wealth and status within European aristocracy.
