Budapest Synagogue - Budapest - Hungary
Previous Next
The world's second largest and Europe's largest synagogue, with seating for 3000. It was built in the middle of the 19th century in Romantic style for the around 30,000 Jewish community of Pest mainly living in this part of the town. Its gigantic hall rests on cast iron columns and arches - a real architectural novelty at that time. Next to the main building lie the arcades of the Jewish Heroes' Mausoleum and Temple in memory of the thousands of Jewish martyrs who died during the Second World War and the ghetto created here by German troops during the war.
