The Ghetto Nuovo

Venice, Italy

As the world's first ghetto established in 1516, the Ghetto Nuovo in Venice offers a profound insight into Jewish history. The area is notable for its towering buildings, as limited space led early inhabitants to build upward. Visitors can explore old synagogues and enjoy quiet walks through its historically rich lanes.
