The history of the Jewish ghetto didn’t start with the arrival of Nazi troops in 1943 but much earlier; it was created by the Pope Carafa in the 16th century. Today the Jewish area is still the area where one of the oldest European Jewish communities is established. It is a fascinating place, full of history and very lively. Some ancient Roman monuments such as the Portico d'Ottavia, and the Teatro Marcello bear witness to the area's great past, and the imposing Synagogue houses a museum of Jewish life. we will also focus on the typical cuisine that you can taste...

The Old Jewish Quarter
Un aera oggi ricchi di vita e di cultura, con gallerie d'arte e ottimi ristoranti, cela un passato incredibile che dagli antichi romani giunge fino a noi grazie alla piccola comunità ebraica che ancora si stringe intorno a questi luoghi. Qui nel 1555 il papa PaoloV Carafa ha creato il cosiddetto ghetto (serraglio degli ebrei) che rinchiuse gli ebrei del tempo per circa 300 anni con assurde limitazioni, finché giunse l'unità d'Italia nel 1861 e l'abbattimento dei muri di cinta. Ma la libertà fu ben presto turbata dalle leggi razziali del 1938 e si concluse con il triste rastrellamento del 16 ottobre 1944 dove circa 2000 persone vennero portate nei campi di concentramento in Polonia.
