Traditional churches often feature domes, especially in specific architectural styles like Byzantine and Renaissance. The dome serves both aesthetic and functional purposes, symbolizing the heavens and providing a spacious interior. However, not all traditional churches have domes; architectural styles can vary widely, and many churches utilize different designs, such as steeples or flat roofs, depending on cultural and regional influences.
