In the northernmost Venetian sestiere, Cannaregio, you'll find the world's original ghetto (a Venetian word), which is worth a visit whether you're Jewish or not. Established in 1516, the ghetto lasted until 1797. Of the handful of remaining synagogues, you’ll see three on the excellent guided tours offered by the Museo Ebraico (Jewish Museum) in Venice. Two are Ashkenazi and one Sephardic; all are richly adorned, in keeping with the Jews' vital, if rigidly controlled, place in Venetian society of old.
