☰Great Synagogue

The Dohany Street Synagogue is the largest synagogue in Europe and the second largest in the world. Built in 1859 in a Moorish Revival style, it seats 3,000 and contains a 5,000-pipe organ, an unusual feature for a synagogue. The complex includes the Jewish Museum, a memorial garden with Imre Varga's weeping willow sculpture honoring Holocaust victims, and the Raoul Wallenberg Memorial. It is closed on Jewish holidays and Saturdays.
