[an error occurred while processing this directive] Bethesda Terrace is a feature in Central Park, New York City. Constructed between 1859 and 1864, it overlooks The Lake. The terrace is on two levels linked by two grand staircases.

The main feature of the terrace is Bethesda Fountain, a fountain encircled within two elliptical balustrades. The Bethesda Fountain was designed by Emma Stebbins and unveiled in 1873. At the top of the fountain is the sculpture of a female winged angle. Beneath her are four cherubs representing Temperance, Purity, Health and Peace.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
