A cupola consists of a dome-shaped or quadrilateral-shaped ornamental structure located on top of a larger roof or dome, often used as a lookout or to admit light and provide ventilation. The word comes, through Italian, from the lower Latin ‘cupula’ (classical Latin ‘cupella’ from the Greek ‘kupellon’) small cup (lat. ‘cupa’) indicating a vault resembling an upside down cup.
If the cupola can be reached by climbing a stairway inside the building, it is referred to as a belvedere or widow’s walk. Some cupolas, called lanterns, have small windows which illuminate the areas below.

Love the colors! Great shot! And I can't believe you made it in to that compound! I remember me and two friends tried to get in and when we did, security came by real quick! hehe
I don't know how you get in the hardest places to get into, but wow! Major kudos to you!
