What you'll see
A quiet square ringed by unusually tall buildings, with small synagogues hidden on the upper floors and a few kosher bakeries.
A brief history
In 1516 Venice ordered the city's Jews to live on this small island, locked at night. The word ghetto comes from here, from the old copper foundry (getto) on the site.
