This square southeast of Széchenyi tér has two important buildings: the Eclectic town hall (1891) to the north and synagogue to the east. The synagogue was built in the Romantic style in 1869, and a seven-page fact sheet, available in 11 languages, explains the history of the building and the city’s Jewish population. Some 2700 of the city’s Jews were deported to Nazi death camps in May 1944; only 150 Jews now live here. The pews hewn from Slavonian oak and the Angster organ are particularly fine.
