C/ABC Wednesday

Silay City Cathedral, Negros Occidental

C is for 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.  Cupolas often appear as small buildings in their own right. They often serve as lantern, belfry or belvedere above a main roof.  In other cases, they may crown a tower, spire or turret.  C is also for church and cathedral.
