For centuries, the Jewish ghetto of Rome has been a site of both undying pride and solidarity and relentless persecution of a tight knit community. This was built in 1555 on the banks of a frequent flooded bend of the Tiber River. This ghetto was the forced house of the Roman Jewish population for more than 300 years between the Italian Unification and the Counter Reformation.

The oldest Jewish ghetto in the world after that of Venice, located in Rome since 1555. To visit the Synagogue, the ancient church of San Gregorio in Divina Pietà, the Fountain of the Turtles and the church of Sant'Angelo in Fish. Of interest are the many restaurants where you can enjoy the kosher kitchen of the Roman tradition.
