A granite terrace of steps, knee-walls and cast-iron-topped balustrades built in the 1890s on the north slope of Copp's Hill, the North End's highest point; designed by Charles Eliot, it's the only Boston public park he designed, and its plaza overlooks Commercial Street and the harbor toward the Mystic River mouth.
