10 Sights & Landmarks in Ghetto That You Shouldn't Miss
Rome wasn't built in a day--and you'll need much more than a day to take in this timeless city. The city is a real-life collage of piazzas, open-air markets, and astonishing historic sites. Toss a coin into the Trevi Fountain, contemplate the Colosseum and the Pantheon, and sample a perfect espresso or gelato before spending an afternoon shopping at the Campo de’Fiori or Via Veneto. Enjoy some of the most memorable meals of your life here, too, from fresh pasta to succulent fried artichokes or a tender oxtail stew.

Fontana delle Tartarughe, or The Turtles' Fountain, is one of the Renaissance's little gems.
Reviewed By Noraatc - Sudbury, United States
The Fontana delle Tartarughe (The Turtle Fountain) is a gem of the late Italian Renaissance located in the heart of the Jewish Ghetto in the center of the Piazza Mattei. It is not clear that the turtles of the fountain’s pedestal are Bernini’s creations, but they are absolutely charming and so are the dolphins. The Mattei family ordered the construction of this beautiful fountain and it has become one of many little treasures of the Eternal City.

Museo Ebraico di Roma - The Jewish Museum of Rome is a very interesting museum, especially for those attracted to the Jewish heritage in Rome, which is more than 2000 years old. The tour starts with a guide taking you through the magnificent synagogue and continues independently (with an audio guide) in the small buy highly educational museum. We spent 90 minutes there all in all and enjoyed every minute.

Wow, we just stumbled across this church and are so glad we did. It has the most amazing interior and exterior. The highlight is the stunning painted dome ceiling which is an amazing piece of artwork. Well worth seeking out if you are near Piazza Navona or Teatro Marcello.

We searched something to have an Italian evening experience and found Concerti del Tempietto. It started with a short guided tour to Teatro di Marcello and ended with a magical piano concert surounded by old buildings, blue sky, birds and piano sounds! It was truly a magical experience! Our guide was very excited to explain everything in details, even when we were only two english speaking people in the group. We are very thankful for a great guideded tour!

The “Tempio Maggiore di Roma” is one of the lesser known landmarks of Rome and Italy. Did you know that Jews are the oldest continues group to inhabit Rome, predating Christianity! This Synagogue was built after the reunification of Italy, and more than just the importance for the Jewish Community, it is a representation the end of the internal fights between the Papal States control over the inhabitants of Rome, and foreign Monarchs and the beginning of the modern nation of Italy composed on citizens of this multicultural peninsula. The Jewish Museum housed below the Synagogue shows how the Jewish community has been able to maintain their culture and traditions in spite of the Papal States bigotry, racism, and limited access to employment. It is also a museum to the Jewish people and religion and how they have coped through the centuries. In the 1800’s before the opening of the Ghetto by the Italian unification forces composed of the Garibaldian and Piedmont forces, The Jews of Ghetto lived in deep poverty, but by holding onto their religious and cultural tradition there were no illiterate Jew in Ghetto, they could all read and write. Meanwhile illiteracy was rampant in the rest of Rome, Italy and Europe. The strive to live and survive has never left. Make sure to visit the Synagogue as well as it is unique, different from the churches of Rome, and different from most Synagogues in the rest of the world. It is beautiful, grand. Hey, we are still in Italy! Once done, make sure to try the Judeo-Romanesco (Jewish Roman Cuisine) food which is famous among Italians.
