Rome: Jewish Ghetto and the Great Synagogue Private Walking Tour

About this activity

Join this tour of the historic Trastevere area to explore the world’s oldest Jewish Ghetto with the exclusive guidance of an expert archaeologist.

Discover this small neighborhood, bordered by the Tiber River on one side and Piazza Venezia on the other. The quarter was established in 1555 under Pope Paul IV, who revoked all rights previously granted to the Roman Jewish community.

A visit to this area offers a profound cultural and religious experience, further enriched by the remarkable Great Synagogue and the Jewish Museum.
