Grand Synagogue

The Grand Synagogue in downtown Budapest (at the beginning of Dohany utca, between Astoria and Deak ter) is the largest one in Europe and second in the world, after the Emanuel Synagogue in New York.

I took this night picture in the same day as the ones in my previous posts. Just waiting for the trolley-bus, going to a tanchaz...

Szent István Bazilika - Saint Stephen's Basilica

In the 5th district, the hearth of Budapest, there is a very spacious square where you fcan't miss the Szent István Bazilika - Saint Stephen's Basilica.

We come out from the street where you saw these two nice houses and there it is, a huge monument.

Here you can even see the building of my previous post in the corner of the picture:

In the brochures, I didn't read anything about those two numbers you can see on the facade, but as it was year 2006, 1456 must represent the battle of Nándorfehérvár (today: Belgrade) where the Hungarians beat the Turks and so stopped them from their intent to invade the Christian Europe. And 1956 - well, one can find a lot of material about the Hungarian revolution of that year.
