| The Dohány Street Synagogue has a capacity of almost 3,000 worshipers and was designed by Austrian architect Ludwig Forster. The ornate building blends elements of the Moorish, Byzantine, Romantic, and Gothic styles — bright red and gold leaf geometric patterns beautify the lavish interior, as do a 5,000-pipe organ and a large rose window emblazoned with a Star of David. Outside, twin 143-foot-tall polygonal towers topped with onion domes flank the entrance. The larger synagogue complex includes the fascinating Hungarian Jewish Museum and Archives, a Jewish cemetery, and the Raoul Wallenberg Holocaust Memorial Park. |
