The Synagogue was built 1902, according to the project of Marcell Komor and Dezső Jakab. In addition to its undisputable artistic and aesthetic value, it is exceptional because it is the only Synagogue in Europe which contains elements of the Hungarian Art Nouveau. Typical of this style, floral decoration in the form of a peacock feather, tulips, stylized roses or lilies are represented on the façade as well as in the interior, on stained glass windows and painted walls. The stained glass windows were made in Miksa Róth’s studio in Budapest and façade decoration and roof tiles in the Pécs Zsolnay ceramics factory.

11.30am Visit to the Raichle Palace

Architect Raichle Ferenc chose one of the most beautiful sites in Subotica for his future home and office. Working for himself only and following his heart’s desire, he dismissed all established rules and patterns in designing and created a building that is the envy of many. Raichle Family Palace is the first thing visitors see as they first arrive in Subotica by train, and it immediately dazzles them with its forms, decoration and splashes them with its unusual colors.

New Synagogue in Szeged is a monumental building that already impresses visitors with its dimensions. It is 48.5 meters high and can accommodate 1340 people. The synagogue was designed by the Budapest architect Lipót Baumhorn, author of 22 synagogues in Hungary. Szeged synagogue was built in 1903 and belongs to the Moorish version of Art Nouveau, at the time popular among Synagogue builders and architects in Europe.

The most beautiful part of the Synagogue’s interior is the dome, symbolizing the world. The infinity of the world is represented by a large number of stars scattered throughout the cobalt-blue glass dome, which darkens gradually towards the top. The dome itself rests on 24 pillars, symbolizing the 24 hours in a day.
