Tiberina Island and the Jewish Ghetto

Isola Tiberina is a small corner of Rome, a stone's throw from the Jewish Ghetto. An area inhabited since Roman times, built to connect the two banks of the River Tiber. 

It's a perfect engineering work, which has protected Rome from possible floods since the end of the 1800s.

Given its proximity, we recommend a walk in the nearby Jewish quarter, considered the oldest in the Western world, which was established by Pope Paul IV as a real Ghetto in 1555 and which was definitively dismantled only at the end of the 19th
century.
