Six onion-roof towers supporting heavens
#53
As I have already written, the onion dome was created because the weight of snow had to be taken into account. The others are spheres with a mast on top, often slightly tapered for structural reasons.
The Pantheon, Hagia Sophia, and then the whole world.
Think of the transition from Romanesque to Gothic architecture.
