4、坡度很陡的形式，像是一个美味的冰激凌，又似一个个小洋葱，形象优美。圣巴塞尔大教堂塔形的设计意在减少穹顶顶部面积，以免冬季的积雪给穹顶造成重压。教堂建成后，人们又在它的外部以彩色装饰，这些建筑师精心设计过的圆顶为教堂增添了不少风采，呈现出浓郁的童话色彩。,St Brasils Cathedral 莫斯科的圣巴塞尔教堂,填空（每空限填一词）,All of the above constructions can be called cultural heritage sites (文化遗产). 1._the fast development of the modern world, people a
