Campo del Ghetto
  • 3m
Although they were not expelled from Venice, in the 16th century the Jews were confined to the island of the Ghetto Nuovo, whose name derived from the Venetian word "gèto", which means "to melt", due to the presence of the numerous foundries that were concentrated there.

The church built in the 14th century by the Congregation of the Humiliated as a dedication to God, the Blessed Virgin and Saint Christopher, the patron saint of travellers and ferrymen.

Ca' d'Oro (Pass by)
The Ca' d'Oro is a famous palace in Venice located in the Cannaregio district, overlooking the Grand Canal, whose name derives from the fact that originally some parts of the facade were covered in gold.
