Scanning Budapest




1-Great Synagogue on Dohány street, PEST
2-Europe’s largest synagogue temple
3-Built from 1854 to 1859
4- Its art combines Romantic, Byzantine & Moorish style
5-Holy place for the Jewish community. It contains also a museum worth to see it
6-It reminds me partly from outside to the old mosque in Cordova (Spain). The towers are very special  with its domes
7-I felt sad visiting the museum and thinking that this wonderful temple was once crowded with people prying before the Second World War. These people suffered a lot and most of them were killed later in Nazi concentration camps.
