domed structure
Curved roof edifice
A domed structure is a building or architectural element topped with a hemispherical or rounded roof.
The dome distributes weight outward, allowing large open spaces without interior columns: The capitol's domed structure dominates the skyline.
Domed structures range from ancient monuments like the Pantheon to modern sports stadiums.
