About Jewis Tour Tour

From the Civitavecchia Port or directly from Rome my Jewish Tour starts with a visit at the Arch of Titus, an arch that commemorates the victory of the emperors Vespasian and Titus in Judea in 70 a.D. which lead to the conquest of Jerusalem and the destruction of the Jewish temple there, and the triumphal procession the two held in Rome in 71 a.D.
The Jews of Rome for centuries have always refused to pass under the Arch. When the State of Israel was born the whole community of Rome ran up to the Forum to pass through the Arch, then with a different feeling. After the Arch of Titus I will take you to see the Jewish Ghetto beginning with The magnificent Synagogue and the Jewish Museum inside (where you can obtain a guide for the museum). In the Ghetto we will visit the famous Cinque Scole Square and the Lorenzo Manili House with it's famous date of edification "2221 ad urbe condida". The Portico d'Ottavia and Bernini's Turtles Fauntain soon follow.
