The "Most beautiful synagogue" title is claimed by the Budapest Great Synagogue. It was built in 1844-49 and is the second largest synagogue in the world! It can seat up to 3,000 people and has a wonderful Byzantine and Moorish style that reminds people of buildings in the Middle East. The decorations in the Great Synagogue are wonderful and rich! The structure of the synagogue has two onion domes and has a gallery for the women and the ground floor is for the men. The Budapest Great Synagogue survived during WWII, and was a shelter to many people. In addition to the synagogue there is a Holocaust Memorial and a Jewish musuem, which is absolutely fabulous.
