Fontana di Piazza delle Cinque Scole

(Pass by)

Scola means synagogue, and so Piazza delle Cinque Scole contained the Temple, New, Castilian, Catalan and Sicilian "Scole". After the emancipation of the Ghetto, the complex was torn down, but the name has remained, the Piazza delle Cinque Scole.

Tempio Maggiore di Roma

(Pass by)

In 1901, the community commissioned two architects, Osvaldo Armanni e Vincenzo Costa, to design and build a new temple. In 1904, the new synagogue was opened, and ever since then, has served as the main place of worship in Rome.

The Portico Of Octavia

(Pass by)

The Portico D'Ottavia was built by Augustus, the first Roman Emperor, to honor his sister Octavia. It consists of a monumental arch and facade, and then an internal portico that originally held two temples.

This was my first experience with a self-guided audio tour, and I am hooked! The narrator gave a terrific and powerful walk through the history of the ghetto, and I felt immersed the entire time. I would recommend this particular guide to anyone who wants to explore this corner of Rome.

I love the concept of this app – – it uses your GPS and your location to automatically start playing and stop playing. Very cool tour through one of the most beautiful spots in Rome. Make sure you eat at one of the establishments there in the Roman Jewish ghetto – – it’s really the best food in the city!

Great use of technology. Very interesting and informative narration. We’ll worth the time and low price! Could be even better with a more representative map and pictures that illustrate the narration.
