GREAT SYNAGOGUE – DOHÁNY UTCA
The second largest Jewish synagogue in the world, and alongside the Amsterdam Synagogue the biggest in Europe, the Great Synagogue of Budapest was built between 1854-59 in the Romantic style according to the plans of Ludwig Förster and with the cooperation of Frigyes Feszl. The building, able to seat as many as 3,000 people, is best characterized by its vigorous, eastern-influenced style, the use of multicoloured rough bricks and its cast-iron structure, which is visible only on the interior. During the Second World War, the Synagogue marked the border of the Budapest Ghetto. It is worthwhile to take the guided tour that introduces the Jewish Quarter of the city.
