Receive sense bro don't bring religion into every thing it's called a Dome

A dome (from Latin : domus ) is an architectural element that resembles the hollow upper half of a sphere. Mostly used by the Roman..

domes are concave from below, they can reflect sound and create echoes. A dome may have a " whispering gallery " at its base that at certain places transmits distinct sound to other distant places in the gallery. The half-domes over the apses of Byzantine churches helped to project the chants of the clergy.

14 World Famous Domes

United States Capitol--Government


St. Paul's Cathedral-- Church

The Reichstag

was originally completed in 1894 to meet the need of the newly-unified German Empire for a larger parliamentary building.

Santa Maria del Fiore
Begun in 1296 in the Gothic style and completed in 1436, The Basilica di Santa Maria del Fiore is Florence’s beautiful cathedral and symbol of the city. The basilica is one of Italy’s largest churches, and until the modern era, the famous dome was the largest in the world. It remains the largest brick dome ever constructed.


Pantheon - A Catholic Church

St. Peter's Basilica

ETC your hatred for others will only make you lack more in knowledge I will post the advantages while this dome are preferable or Google that yourself....
