Description
Bethesda Fountain and Terrace stands between the Lake and the Mall, and is the architectural highlight of Central Park. The fountain was dedicated in 1873 and the statue, Angel of the Waters, in 1842. The Spanish-style detailing of the double staircase with tiles and friezes was done by Jacob Mould. The terrace is a fine place to relax.
