Best temples in Budapest
Budapest’s synagogues stand together in the seventh district, the old Jewish quarter of Pest, and between them they tell the story of a community that split into three congregations in the nineteenth century. The Dohany Street Synagogue, built between 1854 and 1859, is the largest in Europe and the first priority, with its Moorish towers, its museum and the Holocaust memorial garden; Rumbach Street, an early work by Otto Wagner, and Kazinczy Street, an Art Nouveau Orthodox synagogue of 1913, follow.
