This historical Jewish Ghetto dates back to 1555, when Pope Paul IV restricted all Jews to a small area of the city, which was then walled in. Today, the ghetto has wonderful eating places with cross-cultural dishes, and a beautiful synagogue with a small museum inside.

This is a part of Rome many miss only a stone throw from Circus Maximus and St Peters. The oldest Synagogue in Rome . With the only Square Cuppola Very interesting museum showing the history of Jewish life in Rome. Then the food only place to find the Jewish Pizza. Actually it is a fruit cake and the Artichoke al la Giuda found only her. The Jewish Pizza is found in a small bakery at the end of the street. Those wanting to see an alternative side of Rome minus the tourists, also sit in one of the several Jewish Restuarants and enjoy a meal. Its worth the side trip

We went to the Mercado Testaccio for lunch and it was a great experience. This is the market where the locals shop for vegetables, meat, fish and some clothing. There were many stalls with prepared foods as well. Highlights included Casa Marco for pizza with unique toppings, Mardi and Vai for warm brisket sandwiches, and stall 66 for the fried Roman Jewish artichokes. We visited this market on our 4th day in Rome so we had already seen the highlights of the city. The Testaccio market was a fun adventure!
