Velká synagoga
Czechia
Stand on sady Pětatřicátníků in the centre of Plzeň and look up: two towers, each 45 metres tall, frame the largest synagogue in the Czech Republic. The claims made for it go further. It is described as the second largest synagogue in Europe after the one in Budapest, and the fifth largest in the world, behind two in Jerusalem, one in New York and the Budapest synagogue. Whatever you make of such rankings, the scale is obvious from the pavement. This is a monumental building with a three-aisled plan, and it was declared a cultural monument of the Czech Republic in 1992.
