Kecskemét - House of Science and Technology

(Local Name: Tudomány és technika háza) Directly opposite the Citra Palota stands the former Synagogue, built in 1871 in the Moorish style to the designs of János Zitterbarth. Since 1973 it has been the "House of Science and Technology" (Tudomány és technika háza). The onion tower was destroyed in the 1911 earthquake, and the building suffered further damage during the Second World War. Extensive renovations in 1973 to plans by József Kerényi helped to restore it to its former glory. In the foyer stand copies of fifteen Michelangelo sculptures.
