The architecture of the interior of the building with its 48.5-meter domed ceilings is based on a mixture of several historical styles, including modern , neo-Moorish , and general historicism . The ribbed walls of the synagogue belong to the Gothic style , while the columns to the Roman one. [2] The construction of some elements of the Szeged synagogue, such as the synagogue ark, refers to the construction of the First Temple . [2]
The interior decoration of the dome and stained glass of the synagogue was made by Hungarian artist Max Roth .
At the moment, the Szeged Synagogue is the second highest in Hungary (after the Budapest Great Synagogue ) and the fourth in the world. [3]
