Jewish Ghetto
A small, moving historic quarter known for Roman-Jewish cuisine.
The call
Worth it if you are watching the budget and you only have one day.
Why
- 01
One of the oldest Jewish communities in Europe, dense with history and home to the famous fried artichokes (carciofi alla giudia).
Our read - 02
It's compact and quietly atmospheric, with the synagogue, ancient ruins, and brass 'stumbling stones' underfoot — best appreciated with some context.
