Jewish quarter and Trastevere, private walking tour

The history of the Jewish ghetto didn’t start with the arrival of Nazi troops in 1943 but much earlier; it was created by the Pope Carafa in the 16th century.
Today the Jewish area is still the area where one of the oldest European Jewish communities is established. It is a fascinating place, full of history and very lively. Some ancient Roman monuments such as the Portico d’Ottavia, and the Teatro Marcello bear witness to the area’s great past, and the imposing Synagogue houses a museum of Jewish life. we will also focus on the typical cuisine that we will taste…
In the second part of the visit we will cross the river through the charming boat-shaped island, to continue our walk in Trastevere, considered a city apart from its inhabitants who call themselves the “true Romans”! The houses, squares and street names recall the medieval atmosphere. But the undergrounds of some spots will leave you breathless!

History of different sites, how they were and how they are now to understand the life of the Jewish community of Rome over the centuries

Piazza Mattei was one of the places where the doorways of the “Jews Ghetto” were located. Today it is called the Jewish quarter, around the fountain there is always a lot of movement and everyone admires its turtles of the fountain…

Built after the unification of Italy, it is the only square dome in Rome, it can be seen among the hundreds of churches in the skyline of Rome. We will not enter the museum and the synagogue, unless you wish it, anyway I suggest you to go after our tour, as you will be assigned an internal guide included in the ticket price.
