The huge Sephardic synagogue of Sarajevo named Kal Grande, one of the largest and ornate one in the Balkans, was erected between 1926 and 1930 as a counterpart of the Ashkenazi synagogue on the opposite river bank, in the Art Nouveau neighborhood. Its builder, Rudolf Lubinski from Zagreb, was one of the greatest Art Nouveau artists in the Balkans.

Designed for two thousand believers, the Kal Grande was built with a large elliptic dome, and with an entrance courtyard imitating the Alhambra, the Moorish fortress in southern Spain. Its apsis, according to Sephardic tradition, looked toward th south, the river, while its entrance was from the north. But the synagogue stood only ten years. The Germans and Ustashas, entering the town in April 1941, heavily damaged it. It was restored in a simplified secular form in 1965, and the former dome was replaced with a flat roof. The building was initially used as the Đuro Đaković Workers' University and currently as the Bosnian Cultural Center.

Čega je sve pod ovim nebom, u ljudskim dušama stalo.

A da je to ovaj grad sakrio…
