Cupola
In architecture, a cupola is a small, most-often dome-like, structure on top of a building. Often used to provide a lookout or to admit light and air, it usually crowns a larger roof or dome. The word derives, via Italian, from the lower Latin cupula small cup indicating a vault resembling an upside down cup. ⁕ Interior of cupola ceiling in the old Synagogue of Gyor, Hungary. ⁕ Ribbed cupola crowns the minaret of the Mosque of Uqba, in Kairouan, Tunisia. ⁕ Inside of Armenian Orthodox church cupola in Lvov, Ukraine. Cupolas often appear as small buildings in their own right. They often serve as a lantern, belfry, or belvedere above a main roof. In other cases they may crown a tower, spire, or turret.

The cupola is a development during the Renaissance of the oculus, an ancient device found in Roman architecture, but being weatherproof was superior for the wetter climates of northern Europe. The square dome-like segment of a North American railroad train caboose is also called a cupola.
