List of largest domes

November 04, 2023

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 (by diameter) dome of its time is listed below.

Notes:

  1. Each structure is only described in detail one time on this page (the appearance closest to the top of the page), even if it appears in multiple lists. A link to the row where the structure is described in detail is provided.
  2. The dimensions given are inner diameters (also called inside diameters, or clear spans), meaning the thickness of the dome itself is not included. If the inner diameter of a dome is not available, a footnote follows the structure's name.
  3. If a dome has an elliptical rather than circular shape, the dome's shorter dimension (i.e. width) is used for ranking, and, contra convention, its dimensions are listed as width × length, rather than length × width.
  4. If the structure is part of a well-known complex of buildings, the name of the entire site is listed first, with the name of the dome structure itself listed in small text below.
  5. These lists exclude structures that are not self-supporting, such as The O2 in London which is 365 m (1,200 ft) in diameter but is supported by masts.
  6. The name of a structure used is the name it had when it was constructed or first opened. This is particularly relevant regarding stadiums.

1312 – 1659 25.6 83.99 Dome of Soltaniyeh Soltaniyeh, Iran Persian architects were building double shell domes at the start of the 5th century, but the Dome of Soltaniyeh is the earliest such architecture extant, dating to 1312, over 100 years before Brunelleschi used the same technique to build the dome of Florence Cathedral. This makes the Dome of Soltaniyeh the earliest existing double shell dome. The Florence Cathedral's dome has a design of octagonal supporting walls, like the Dome of Soltaniyeh. The Dome of Soltaniyeh is the third largest brick dome in the world (after Florence Cathedral and Hagia Sophia). Hagia Sophia is older than the Dome of Soltaniyeh, but the Hagia Sophia is a single shell brick dome. [55]
