Subotica Synagogue

About

Another of Subotica’s Art Nouveau treasures is the city’s synagogue, finished in 1903 and also drawn up by Dezső Jakab and Marcell Komor.

It’s a synagogue that resembles no other, partly because there’s a state-of-the-art steel frame in its walls. This gave the architects the freedom to create a self-supporting dome, painted with gold. The carnations, peacock feathers and tulip motifs that show up here and there are all traits of the Hungarian Art Nouveau.
