The
Jewish ghetto in Rome is one of the oldest ghettos in the world, built only 40 years after that of Venice. The etymology of the word "ghetto" comes in fact from the old language used in Venice. The establishment of the ghetto in Rome dates back to 1555, by decision of Paul IV, the Pope who has denied all rights to the Jews of Rome. But in reality, the Roman Jews had settled in the area for a long time before.
The ghetto is today by tourists visiting Rome one of the most beloved neighborhoods. Lively and colorful is perhaps one of the most typical areas of the Roman historical center. In the ghetto area of Rome, there are a lot of famous and particular restaurants, guardians of the excellent cuisine of the Roman-Jewish tradition.
In the video we present today some images of the Jewish ghetto and the nearby area of Trastevere. Remember, a
B&B Rome center is the best choice to know Rome in all its wonders!
