In Venice, Jews were historically forced to live in a designated area known as the Ghetto, established in 1516. This was a confined and segregated part of the city where Jews were required to reside, and it was surrounded by walls. The term "ghetto" itself originated from this location. The Ghetto of Venice served as a center for Jewish life and culture, despite the restrictions placed upon its inhabitants.
