Cetate Synagogue, Neolog synagogue in Timișoara, Romania
The Cetate Synagogue features two octagonal towers with bulbous cupolas, a brick facade with glazed ceramic tiles, and a grand hall that seats 744 people.
Built between 1863 and 1865 by architect Carl Schumann, the synagogue received Emperor Franz Joseph I in 1872, marking recognition of the Jewish community.
The synagogue integrates Moorish Revival and Romanesque Revival elements, reflecting the architectural preferences of the Neolog Jewish congregation in the 19th century.
After restoration works that began in December 2017, the synagogue now functions as both a religious center and a concert venue for the Timișoara Philharmonic.
The interior contains a Wegenstein organ from 1899, constructed by Carl Leopold Wegenstein, which remains an integral part of the synagogue's musical heritage.
