About About the place

The Subotica Synagogue, constructed in 1902, is a remarkable example of Hungarian Art Nouveau architecture, uniquely incorporating elements of Hungarian folk art. It was built with a donation from Adolf Geiger and originally accommodated 1,600 people. While the interior is currently closed for extensive renovations that have been ongoing for years, the exterior has been largely restored to its former glory. The synagogue holds significant historical and cultural importance, serving as a memorial to the 4,000 Subotica Jews lost during World War II and now functioning as a community hall for events. Its architectural distinctiveness makes it a standout landmark in Subotica and a rare gem in Europe.
