Suleiman the Magnificent Mosque
This construction is inspired in the upper section of the Suleiman the Magnificent Mosque in Istanbul. The original building is much more complex, displaying an intricate set of additional small domes and other elements which we haven't even tried to replicate. The Suleiman the Magnificent Mosque is inspired, in turn, in Hagia Sophia, as is also the case with many other mosques in Istanbul.

The main dome is built on four vertical structures of one type and four ones of another type, as shown in the following pictures. It is made of curved sections like those used for Chapel 7, and also for the Main dome of the Taj Mahal to scale 1:50. All four sections on supports of type 1 are attached one another at the apex while the other four fix their positions by means of four-rod segments which attach their supports to the adjacent ones.

The four middle small domes are similar to those used in Mosque 3 and in the Great Mosque, but their decagonal basis rest on 3×1 rectangular prisms. The supports of these domes are attached to the vertical supports of type 2.

The four lateral semidomes rest on the «legs» of the vertical supports of type 1. These legs join by means of segments of rings of sphenocoronae similar to those used for Chapel 10. The semidomes themselves are made of six tetrahedric curves and another segment of ring of sphenocoronae placed vertically:
