Dohány Street Synagogue

I made a reservation on their official website. It's closed from sunset on Friday until Saturday. Men are given a paper hat to put on their head at the entrance. Inside, explanations were given in various languages. (Israeli, English, French, German, Spanish)

The Dohany Street Synagogue is located on the west side of Budapest, in the city center of Pest. It is one of the most famous churches in Budapest and the most famous local synagogue. It has remarkable architectural style, the color of the exterior wall is very distinctive, and the decoration above And the pattern is delicate. The difference with other churches is that you need to buy a ticket to visit this church, which is also rare among foreign churches.

This magnificent Byzantine-Moorish building is the largest synagogue in Europe. Built by a Viennese architect in the mid-19th century, this building made of red and yellow bricks and decorated with colorful ceramics is the capital's most magnificent historical site. It houses unique Jewish artifacts from ancient Rome to the 20th century. At the back door of the Holocaust Memorial, there is a steel tree, which symbolizes the endless vitality and strength of the Jewish people.

I walked into this church accidentally, thinking it was just a memorial hall, but when I went in I found out it was a synagogue. As expected, there is no idol worship in Jewish churches, but they are beautifully decorated.

It is a very gorgeous building, the whole structure is golden. Once you enter, the interior space is very large, lacking the idolatry decorations of Western religions. It feels quite special, and there are a lot of people.

This church is the most important synagogue in Budapest. It was restored after the war. In addition to daily religious activities, it also serves a memorial purpose and is quite beautiful.
