Description:
The same yellow-orange motif found in it, as the DohA?ny Street great Synagogue is. This is the house of worship built for the ‘status quo ante ‘ Jews who have Neolog’s building did not pass. The ‘status-quo’ synagogue in Rumbach Street was built in 1872, to the design of the Viennese architect, Otto Wagner, it is the only building in Hungary to be designed by him. Built in the Romantic style, the synagogue evidences a strong eastern influence, its two towers remind one of the minarets so characteristic of Islamic architecture. The interior of the synagogue, intricately patterened and painted in Islamic style, is defined by the octagonal, spacious, high, decorative dome which holds eight slender iron columns. It was built not as an exact replica of, but as an homage to the style of the octagonal, domed Dome of the Rock Muslim shrine in Jerusalem The column capitals are decorated with Alhambra Moorish character. Gold, blue and red coloured reliefs can be found on the walls.
