Itinerario
Inizieremo dalla Colonna Traiana e vedremo Piazza Venezia prima di salire i gradini in leggera pendenza verso Piazza del Campidoglio per vedere il meraviglioso disegno della piazza che è stato tutto immaginato dal grande Michelangelo e ora sede dei famosi Musei Capitolini.
Da qui camminiamo verso il Teatro di Marcello, spesso chiamato scherzosamente il piccolo Colosseo. Sebbene architettonicamente simile al Colosseo, il Teatro di Marcello è leggermente più antico, risale al 12 a.C. e non ospitava nessuno degli sport del sangue, e ora ospita alcuni fortunati residenti che vivono negli appartamenti sopra il teatro .
Durante la nostra passeggiata vedremo i numerosi ristoranti del quartiere e ci fermeremo per un assaggio del tradizionale gelato Kosher. Poi faremo una breve passeggiata fino alla magnifica Fontana delle Tartarughe, un vero capolavoro del tardo Rinascimento italiano, dove scoprirai come è stata notoriamente costruita in un solo giorno.
Costruito nel 1555, questo è il più antico ghetto ebraico. Il papa revocò tutti i diritti concessi agli ebrei romani e li bandì da ogni tipo di commercio e dalla possibilità di possedere proprietà immobiliari. Nonostante ciò, la comunità ebraica prosperò all'interno del commercio in via di sviluppo, una cucina unica e meravigliosa dentro le loro mura e persino il loro dialetto italiano. La Grande Sinagoga, ancora la terza più grande d'Europa, funziona oggi come luogo di preghiera e punto di riferimento culturale vitale per l'intera comunità ebraica di Roma.
Da qui è una brevissima passeggiata fino al Porticus Octaviae, un'enorme struttura costruita dall'imperatore Augusto in onore di sua sorella Ottavia. Dal XV agli inizi del XX secolo è stata la sede del mercato del pesce di Roma. È da qui che entriamo nel Ghetto stesso.
Concludendo all'Isola Tiberina, dove passato e presente scivolano senza soluzione di continuità in uno, l'isola è stata utilizzata dagli antichi romani come ospedale con il fiume che li aiutava come barriera naturale che aiuta a fermare la diffusione della malattia, e uno dei migliori ospedali di Roma può ancora essere trovato su quel sito oggi. Dando una bellissima vista sul fiume, l'isola è convenientemente collocata tra il Ghetto e il locale quartiere di Trastevere ed è ben collegata per tornare a qualsiasi parte della città.

Jaime’s knowledge on the Discovering Jewish history walking tour was excellent and he sprinkled the discussion with anicdotes and stories. My only negative was that at the beginning he probably spent a little too long talking about the history before we actually got walking. Having said that his knowledge was amazing !! Lovely guy on top of everything !!
Ciao! Many thanks for your kind words. We are so glad you enjoyed thr tour with Jamie. He has such a passion for history and it really comes out on his tours. There is a lot of history to discuss on the tour and he might have extended it a bit to allow late comers to catch the group before actually setting off. We will discuss it with him however. Many thanks once again and we hope you have a wonderful time in Rome. Safe travels!

We really enjoyed The Tour of The Jewish Ghetto with Roman Vacations. We were thrilled with our guide , he was kind and really intelligent and patient. Our tour was comprised of couples and families and each person appeared really engaged. We travelled with our young adult son and each of us really took so much from our guides tour. We would definitely use them again , they provided an exemplary service that is exactly as outlined on their website and much more. The tour was filled will tons of sights from Roman Temples to Pagan ruins. The Jewish Ghetto was beautiful despite its innocent residents horrific abuse and murder , from the expulsions and mistreatment to the forced deportations and murder of innocent Jewish men , woman and children during the Holocaust. Their stories were told both factually and respectfully by our guide. There are also beautifully crafted brass floor tiles outside the homes commemorating the names and place of death of Jewish victims of the Nazis . This really is a highly recommended company and Tour as our guide did an incredible job on all levels. He covered this tour with breadth and scope and we are really thankful to have been on his tour. It was crazy hot in Rome and the complementary delicious gelato at a wonderful Gelateria in the heart of the Jewish Ghetto was a welcome and nice surprise. Thank you for a memorable day.
Thank you so much for such a wonderful review! We are so, so, glad we were able to give you such a wonderful experience. We hope to see you again!
