What is a large cupola called?

A large cupola that's enough to hold people inside is typically called a belvedere.

A cupola is a hollow frame that protrudes up from the roof of a building. If that evokes the picture of an upside-down cup, you’d be right on track, as cupola comes from the Latin word “cupula”, which itself means “small cup”. Cupolas often have pointy roofs and windows or vents on the sides. Cupolas are produced in a variety of shapes and sizes but are commonly square or hexagonal and much smaller than the structure to which they’re attached. Large and extravagant cupolas have appeared throughout the world in some of the world’s greatest buildings and are often dome-shaped and large enough to provide the most distinctive facets of a building. Cupolas may serve a variety of purposes, but they’re primarily used to add aesthetic appeal to the structure they garnish.
