Fort Belvedere
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
There are a number of places named Fort Belvedere. These include:
- Perhaps the most famous is the one in Florence, Italy, which is often known simply as the Belvedere.
- The country home of Edward, Prince of Wales near Sunningdale, Berkshire, and the place where he, as Edward VIII, abdicated the throne in 1936. The roses in the Fort's grounds have been noted, and Edward VIII, for whom the Fort became a favourite residence, became an expert rose gardener.
