What exactly is a cupola?
Check out the Cupola Definition page for a detailed description of the word and its meaning. Try the Cupola Picture Gallery to gain an understanding of some of the forms that they may take. Some of the Building and Landscape galleries also offer pictures of buildings and gardens with cupolas or related structures, including belvederes, widow’s walks, lanterns, domes, towers, spires, belfries, steeples, gazebos, and garden follies. A large number of cupolas may also be found under the State Capitol Building section of this site. In the future, I may be adding a short cupola history page.
