A cupola is a cupola, it is not a turret and it is not a dome. It may, however sit on top of a dome. If you can walk up to it it may sometimes be called a belvedere or a widow's walk. Some cupolas have been called lanterns because they have small windows which illuminate the areas below.

gazebo, turret. chhatri, zaojing
P.S. - I thought the cupola was the part ABOVE the dome. Gazebos are sometimes called cupolas when they are on the ground. Chhatri is the Indian and middle eastern version of a cupola and the zaojing is the Chinese and Asian version.

'Cupola' is the now almost completely defunct longer version of what we call a cup.
The word 'cupola' stems from the Latin meaning 'small handled container for tea or other hot beverages'

If you are talking architecture, a cupola is a dome. If you're talking steel making its part of a blast furnace.
