The Ghetto was the circumscribed area near San Geremia, which, from 1516, isolated and segregated the Jewish community from the rest of the Venetian population. There are three areas: the Gheto Vechio, the Novo and finally the Nuovissimo, which only opened in 1633.
Despite the continuous influx of tourists, it’s still possible to feel a strong sense of belonging, commemoration and closeness to the victims of the genocide even today, with numerous plaques as testament to what occured.
