The Subotica Synagogue, officially the Jakab and Komor Square Synagogue in Subotica (Serbian: Синагога на тргу Јакаба и Комора, Суботица; Hungarian: Jakab és Komor téri zsinagóga, Szabadka), is a former Neolog Jewish congregation and synagogue, located in Subotica, Serbia.
Completed in 1903 in the Hungarian Art Nouveau style, the synagogue is the second largest synagogue in Europe after the Dohány Street Synagogue in Budapest.[3][4] The synagogue was built during the administration of the Kingdom of Hungary (part of Austria-Hungary), according to the plans of Marcell Komor and Dezső Jakab, and replaced a smaller and less elaborate synagogue. It is one of the finest surviving pieces of religious architecture in the art nouveau style.[5]
The former synagogue was designated a Monument of Culture in 1974; in 1990 it was designated a Monument of Culture of Exceptional Importance, and it is protected by Republic of Serbia. After a long period of neglect, the former synagogue was renovated and reopened as a concert venue in 2018.
