Join this tour to discover the heritage of Rome’s Jewish community, the oldest in Europe, with over two thousand years of history deeply rooted in the city. It’s no surprise that many locals here like to say they’re even more Roman than the ancient Romans!

Their story begins long before Julius Caesar, all the way to modern Popes. Reaching moments like when John Paul II became the first Pope to visit a synagogue and embrace the Chief Rabbi, calling the Jewish people “our elder brothers, deserving of respect”.

As you walk through this unique neighborhood, you’ll uncover why the community was set apart and how, despite generations of restrictions, it held on to its identity with strength, humor and creativity. Here, every building, every corner, every stone has something to tell: stories of hardship, survival and remarkable grit.

Along the way, treat yourself to authentic kosher pastries from the city’s oldest Jewish bakery, or taste iconic Jewish specialties like fried artichokes.

You can also enhance your experience with an optional guided visit to the Synagogue (€12 per adult, €6 for children, admission included).
