The main dome of the Nice Observatory, designed by architect Charles Garnier and completed in 1885, crowns the astronomical facility in Nice, France. Constructed of steel, this cupola represents a notable example of late-nineteenth-century observatory architecture, when such structures were increasingly engineered to support the weight and rotation of large telescopes while providing optimal viewing conditions for celestial observation.
