Top Sights Campo del Ghetto Nuovo & the Ghetto

Map C3

This Cannaregio corner once housed Venice’s getto (foundry), but its role as Venice’s Jewish quarter from the 16th to 18th centuries gave the word a whole new meaning. Upper storeys were added around Campo del Ghetto Nuovo to house new arrivals, synagogues and publishing houses. The Jewish community stocked and funded Venice’s commercial enterprises by day, while at night and on Christian holidays they were restricted to the gated island of Ghetto Nuovo.
