I am standing in front of one of the city’s most impressive buildings, the Great Synagogue in Pilsen, and I am looking forward to visiting it. The last time I was in Plzen, it was being restored – now the building is gleaming and looks almost like new.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
The Great Synagogue in Plzen or Great Synagogue of Plze\u0148 is said to be the second largest synagogue in Europe and the third largest in the world. However, since there are no uniform measurements or regulations for this claim, one also finds statements such as the third largest “building of its kind” in Europe and fifth largest in the world. I don’t really care whether it’s second, third or fourth, the synagogue is big and impressive in any case. I think a visit to the city’s landmark is simply a must during a stay in Plzen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
