Even in dull and overcast weather they let in a considerable amount of light. The dome was almost 100 metres (330 ft) in circumference, and its summit was 33 metres (108 ft) above ground level. The interior of the rotunda was decorated with medallion portraits of Louis XVI, police lieutenant

In a major reconstruction in 1888–1889 much of the structure was replaced and the building became the

The building was circular, with an exterior diameter of 68.19 metres (223.7 ft), and enclosed a round court with a diameter of 19.5 metres (64 ft). The building was pierced by 28 arcades on the ground floor, and the same number of windows on the floor above. The upper floor was reached by

Work on a wooden dome to cover the courtyard began on 10 September 1782 and was completed on 31 January 1783. The wooden dome was destroyed by fire in 1802. An imperial decree of 4 September 1807 stated that the hall was to be covered by a dome with cast-iron vertical arches covered in tinned copper.

Construction of the iron dome covered in sheets of copper began in 1809 and was completed in 1811. The engineer François Brunet assisted Bélanger in the calculations and design of the dome, which had a diameter of more than 39 metres (128 ft). It was made of 51 sections, corresponding to the

Washington to take responsibility for the Capitol building as "surveyor of the public buildings". He proposed a variant of the Halle aux blés dome. The chamber would be roofed by a low-rising dome that would be hidden on the outside by the balustrade. After some

On 16 October 1802 the cupola was destroyed by fire. The
Minister of the Interior ran a competition for a replacement dome, and Bélanger resubmitted his design from 1782. In 1806 Jean-Baptiste Launay presented a model for a cast-iron dome for the market to the
