Synagogue, Pecs (must see)
The Synagogue of Pecs was built in July 1869 according to the design made by Frigyes Feszl K谩roly Gerster and Lip贸t Kauser, who played an essential part in Hungarian architecture of the nineteenth century. The Jewish community of Pecs is not numerous, but very unified; they use the Synagogue regularly on weekdays. Jewish religious laws do not agree with metaphorical motifs which is why the main facade of the building of Synagogue is divided into three parts. According to Biblical inscriptions people of any religion may visit the Jewish service. Visitors can see the "stone tablets of Moses" on the top of the fa莽ade. The synagogue sanctuary ceiling is covered with painted stars. The sanctuary itself is divided from the nave by the bronze railings and is directed toward Jerusalem.
