The dome is 107 meters high (351 ft) and was centrally placed in order to dominate the court of honor. The inside of the dome was painted by Charles de La Fosse, with a Baroque illusion of space seen from below. The painting was completed in 1705.

The Cathédrale Saint-Louis-des-Invalides houses the tomb of Napoleon Bonaparte, in the crypt directly under the elaborate painted dome.
