The Great Budapest Synagogue - Budapest



Also known as the Dohány Synagogue, Budapest's grand Jewish temple was built between 1854 and 1859 based on plans by Viennese architect Ludwig Förster (aka Lajos Förster). The synagogue is basically Moorish in style, with two tall towers that make it easily recognizable throughout the Pest section of the city. Observant tourists will also find some Byzantine, Gothic, and Romantic elements in the architecture of the synagogue.
Two polygonal towers on either side soar to a height of 43.6 meters (143 feet) and are capped by copper domes.
