Synagogues became key religious buildings after the Temple was destroyed in 70 AD.

 

The Synagogue of Budapest in Dohány Street is the world's second largest synagogue and it is the most monumental one together with the synagogue of Amsterdam. It was designed by Ludwig Förster in Moorish style, and it took four years to complete the building. Frederick Feszl, the famous architect of Vigado designed the interior of the sanctuary. The synagogue was officially inaugurated on 6th September 1859.
