A » A dome is a large, rounded roof structure often seen in religious and governmental buildings, characterized by its hemispherical shape and wide span. In contrast, a cupola is a smaller, often decorative structure atop a roof or dome, typically cylindrical and serving as a lookout, ventilator, or to admit light. While both feature curved profiles, domes are primarily for coverage, whereas cupolas enhance architectural aesthetics.
