lanterns/cupolas

Explanation:
English by way of Swedish?
Lanternin, i arkitektur en liten rund eller polygonal turell (litet torn) med fönster runt omkring som kröner ett tak eller en kupol.
(very approximately: a round or polygonal turret with windows and topped by a cupola roof)
http://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lanternin

In English, this is a meaning for "lantern" that is not commonly used today:

"Lantern: A structure built on top of a roof or dome with open or windowed walls to admit light and air."

If you think your audience will recognize "lantern" in the architectural sense, then I would use that term. However, "cupola" has a very similar meaning and is more widely recognized.
