Jewish ghetto, in Venice, Italy

The very first ghetto, about 500 years old. Its inhabitants were almost entirely wiped out by the holocaust. Today it's been revived, but largely as a historical center. However there are acting synagogues, kosher restaurants, etc. According to Wikipedia, the languages historically spoken in this area include things I had never heard of: "Venetian, Italian, Judeo-Spanish, Judeo-Arabic, French, and German".
