Cupola

In architecture, a cupola is a relatively small, most often dome-like, tall 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 lower Latin cupula, from Ancient Greek κύπελλον 'small cup', indicating a vault resembling an upside-down cup.
