The Great Synagogue, built in 1893 in a Moorish-Romanesque style, is the third largest in Europe (and the fifth largest in the world).

The historic building was extensively reconstructed at the end of the 20th century and, thanks to its excellent acoustics and unique atmosphere, also serves as a concert and exhibition hall in addition to religious purposes.
