Venice and the Jewish community (free tour to Murano included)
Cannaregio is a lovely quiet residential area of Venice, less crowded than the main tourist sights but full of interesting architecture and history. A pleasant stroll here will reveal that Venice has much more to offer than St Mark’s Square.
You will visit the small beautiful church of Madonna Dell’Orto (the Tintoretto’s church), you will see the Campo dei Mori and the house of the Arab merchants, whose stories will surprise you, you will meet lots of local people still using the traditional dialect to talk to each other, old ladies out for groceries, children playing in the streets and students running to their lessons.
Here was created by the Serenissima in 1516 the first Jewish ghetto in Europe. All the Jewish people in Venice were forced to leave their homes wherever in the city and move to this area, where they could practice very few activities.
The visit to the synagogues can be done only with one of the guides of the ghetto following with an additional group tour.

Pass By: Campo del Ghetto, 30121 Venice Italy
In the heart of Cannaregio was created by the Serenissima in 1516 the first Jewish ghetto in Europe. All the Jewish people in Venice were forced to leave their homes wherever in the city and move to this area, where they could practice very few activities. The ghetto was connected to the rest of the city by bridges with gates, which were closed at sunset. You will learn how they used to live, pray and work. Their life was totally different from any other Jewish at that time, and it went on like this up until 1797, when the ghetto gates were demolished by the Napoleonic army.
