Paved square
Start in the principal square of Venice, known locally simply as la Piazza — the only one in the city that carries the title. The Piazzetta extends it towards the lagoon between two columns; the campanile stands where the square meets it. Come at opening time and the arcades are almost empty. About 30 minutes.

Cannaregio and the GhettoRialto Bridge → Campo di Ghetto Nuovo
City alleys and bridges
Walk north-west into Cannaregio, where Venice becomes a neighbourhood again. The route ends in the Venetian Ghetto, instituted by decree in 1516 as the quarter where Jews were compelled to live — the place that gave the word 'ghetto' to every other language. Its tall, crowded houses, synagogues and museum still surround a quiet campo. About an hour.
عن هذا المكان
The Venetian Ghetto was the area of Venice in which Jews were forced to live by the government of the Venetian Republic. The English word ghetto is derived from the Jewish ghetto in Venice. The Venetian Ghetto was instituted on 29 March 1516 by decree of Doge Leonardo Loredan and the Venetian Senate.
