#5983. Decorative Art Nouveau synagogue facade with terracotta elements

The image showcases a magnificent fragment of a building facade executed in Art Nouveau style with Neo-Romanesque elements and symbolism characteristic of synagogue architecture. The central element of the composition is a round window with an exquisite metal grille in the form of a fan-shaped pattern, creating the impression of sun rays.

The facade is decorated with terracotta brickwork forming an expressive ornamental framing contour. Particularly noteworthy is the semicircular arch above the window, adorned with a series of decorative elements, presumably stylized plant motifs. Above the round window are three circular elements: a central one depicting the Star of David, emphasizing the building's connection to Jewish tradition, and two smaller round windows on either side.

The upper part of the fragment is crowned with a wavy decorative cornice with openwork terracotta finishing. The overall color scheme is built on the contrast between light plaster and warm terracotta brick, which gives the facade expressiveness and monumentality, despite the relatively small size of the visible fragment. In the upper part of the image, elements of restoration scaffolding are noticeable, indicating that work is being done to preserve this architectural monument.
