Rome’s Jewish Ghetto between history and tradition

This tour will take the visitor to some of the most evocative corners of the Jewish Ghetto, to discover the history of its monuments and to experience one of the most symbolic places in Rome, ending the experience with a tasting of typical sweets of the Jewish-Roman culinary tradition prepared by a historical pastry shop.

From the Fountain of the Turtles to the Portico of Octavia

During our walk we will discover the curious story of the origin of the Fountain of the Turtles and lose ourselves in the charm of the Octavian Portico, symbol of the district and witness to the change of the neighbourhood over the centuries.

From the Synagogue to the Church of Santa Maria del Pianto

From the Great Synagogue, the heart of the Ghetto, we will head towards Piazza delle Cinque Scole, a place full of emotions linked to the tragedy of the past and the almost enchanted atmosphere of the remains of ancient Rome, until we reach the Church of Santa Maria del Pianto, to understand the origins of its particular name.

The visit will end with a cake tasting surrounded by the unique atmosphere of this corner of Rome.
