List of largest domes

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is an old revision of this page, as edited by Podz00 (talk | contribs) at 15:34, 5 July 2022 (Undid revision 1096602877 by 2409:4071:4D13:A489:0:0:8B8A:410E (talk) As specified at the top of the page, the defining criterion is the inner diameter. That of Gol Gumbaz is 37.92 m, so it has never held the title of the largest dome in the world.).

Comparison of some famous domes
Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem
Long Island Green Dome in Baiting Hollow, New York

A dome is a self-supporting structural element of architecture that resembles the hollow upper half of a sphere.

Every dome in the world which was the largest dome of its time is listed below. The defining criterion is in each case the inner diameter of the largest circular cross-section of the dome.

This list excludes dome-shaped structures that are not self-supporting such as The O2 in London which is 365 m (1,198 ft) in diameter and supported by masts.

Worldwide

Below is a list of buildings that have held the title of the largest dome in the world.
