Phases of the moon
These are skylights in the four corner buildings of the mosque in the palace gardens in Schwetzingen, Germany. These are not proper skylights but fake windows in the dome of the roofs, showing different phases of the moon: quarter, half, three quarters and full moon.

It was constructed at the end of the 18th century when all things Turkish were very fashionable. It combines elements of Eastern and Western architecture.
