A little more perspective
This entry measures the internal floor-to-dome height. The artwork is a cutaway through the nave, with the measurement ending at the inside of the central dome. Exterior roof thickness, the finial and the separate minarets extend beyond this interior measurement.
A photograph of the complete exterior cannot simply be assigned the interior dome height from bottom to top. The cutaway makes the two endpoints visible. It represents the architectural space rather than a claim about the total height of every exterior element.
