House Fun Fact

|
This question was asked the other day: “What is the difference between a cupola and a belvedere?”
Cupolas are generally smaller, usually with a domed or rounded top, and are used for ventilation.
Belvederes are also used for ventilation, but they can be used to enjoy a particular view or vista because they are large enough in which to stand.
