Partial view of Queen Anne Cottage with a cupola.
What Is a Cupola?
For those of you who have not heard this term used before it simply means an ornamental structure placed on the top of a larger roof or dome. In some cases, the entire main roof of a tower or spire can be a cupola. More frequently, however, the cupola is a smaller structure that sets on top of the main roof.
