Great Synagogue
The Great Synagogue is the largest and most spectacular in Europe and the 2nd largest in the world after the Temple Emmanuel in New York. Built in Byzantine style by the Viennese architect Ludwig Forster in 1854–9, it can house over 3,000 people. Since 1931 it has been home to the Jewish Museum, with relics relating to the history of the city’s Jews. The rear courtyard has a memorial to the Holocaust.






Jewish Quarter

Jews first settled in Hungary in the 13th century, in the area around Obuda. In the 19th century, a second wave of Jews arrived and settled in this area, which was outside Pest’s city walls at the time. The community thrived until 1941, when the first anti-Semetic laws were passed by Admiral Horthy’s pro- Nazi dictatorship. In 1944, the area around the Great Synagogue became a ghetto from where tens of thousands of Jews were taken to death camps. Hungary lost 600.000 Jewish during World War II. Today, it is home to a small Jewish community with synagogues, shops and Kosher restaurants. The Jewish district is almost 2 km2-s large.
