Jewish Tour here
It was built between 1854-59 in neo-Moorish style and is still the center of Hungarian Jewish life. During World War II, Dohany Street was a border of the Jewish ghetto, so the memory of the Holocaust is associated with the area.
The garden became the burial place of nearly 2,600 Jews.
The building currently is a house of prayer and a museum. The square is primarily the scene of religious services, but it is also a venue for cultural programs and concerts.
