Trigonal shapes have also been used in architecture, particularly in the design of domes and vaults. For example, the dome of St. Peter's Basilica in Vatican City is a perfect example of a trigonal dome. The dome is made up of 132 individual sections, each of which is designed to form a perfect, equilateral triangle when joined together with the other sections. This intricate, trigonal design is what gives the dome of St. Peter's Basilica its distinctive, iconic appearance.
