What is a "lantern"?

A lantern is an architectural feature that refers to a small structure or enclosure, typically placed on top of a dome or roof, designed to admit light into the space below. Lanterns often have windows or openings that allow natural light to filter in, creating a bright and inviting atmosphere inside a building. They can be decorative as well, adding an aesthetic element to the architecture. Lanterns are commonly found in churches, cathedrals, and public buildings, often enhancing the overall design and providing a focal point that draws the eye upward. In addition to their visual appeal, lanterns can also serve as a source of ventilation, improving air circulation within the building.
