Szeged - New Syngagogue

(Local Name: Új Zsinagóga) The new synagogue, a Secessionist building from 1900-03, was the largest church in Szeged until the Votive Church was built. The domed interior is superbly decorated: the 24 tambour pillars symbolize the hours in the day, the blossom of the hawthorn, faith and the stars of the universe. The dome is crowned by a star of David circled by rays of light.
