Window of the Central Synagogue in Sofia the capital of Bulgaria.
Description:
The synagogue in Sofia is the third largest in Europe, next to the synagogues in Budapest and Amsterdam.
Designed by Austrian architect Grunanger in a Spanish-Moorish style, the temple resembles the Vienna synagogue destroyed by the Nazis.
It was opened on 9 September 1909, and the ceremony was attended by Tzar Ferdinand and Tzaritza Eleonora of Bulgaria.
One of the most beautiful architectural monuments in Sofia, the synagogue accommodates 1300 worshippers.
Its central chandelier weighs two tons and is the largest in Bulgaria.
Photo Notes:
My objective here was to show the form and tracery of the window.
I was able to support my camera on a nearbye wall and used my Canon 70-300mm IS to take the picture
