Synagogue in Trnava

The Status Quo Ante Synagogue in Trnava (Slovak: Synagóga status quo ante) was completed in either 1891 or 1897 at Halenárska Street in Trnava, Slovakia. The synagogue was built in the Moorish-Byzantine style. The city had two Jewish congregations: an Orthodox and a Status Quo one; the building served the latter.[1] The synagogue was devastated in World War II. Today the synagogue is the center of contemporary art, housing the Ján Koniarek gallery, and hosts a number of exhibitions and concerts.

Inside, apse and chapel are surrounded by a gallery for women, which is supported by cast iron columns with composite capitals. In the center of the chapel is a glass dome with its original design. Historically and to this day the synagogue is one of the most characteristic and most original buildings in the city. Its most characteristic features are the towers of spherical domes.

The synagogue is no longer active. In front of the building is a monument dedicated to the Jewish victims of World War II.

gollark: It's simple. The initial python bit detects strings which are UTTERLY spacious, and then (in an oddly obfuscated way) ensures that each character in one string exists at least once in the other. Then, it calls the C bit with - due to odd pythonous scoping - the string without the index where they were found to match. The C bit actually does the same thing, calling back into Python afterward. If there is ever an *unmatched* character, it returns false.
