Il Portico Di Ottavia
The Portico d'Ottavia complex is the only one preserved of the large porticoes that limited, on the northern side, the square of the Circo Flaminio, an area that corresponds to the ancient Ghetto. It was rebuilt by Augustus, in place of the older Portico of Metello, between 27 and 23 BC. and dedicated to her sister Ottavia. It was subsequently restored and partially rebuilt in 203 by Septimius Severus, after a fire in 191, a period to which the majority of the currently visible remains belong. The complex, a quadriportico of 119 x 132 metres, included the most ancient Temple of Juno Regina, which was then joined by the Temple of Jupiter Stator, the first in Rome entirely made of marble, two libraries, Greek and Latin, and the Curia Octaviae , a large environment for public meetings.
The ghetto of Rome, also known as the Jewish quarter of Rome, is one of the oldest in the world and arose about 40 years after that of Venice, which historically was the first. It is located in the picturesque Sant'Angelo district, where the Tiber island also stands, formed by the wedges of the Tiber. Today it is one of the areas of the Eternal City most loved not only by residents, but also by tourists and is famous for its Jewish-Roman cuisine restaurants appreciated by gourmet travelers from all over the world. Located next to the Theater of Marcellus, historically the ghetto of Rome was born in 1555 when Pope Paul IV issued a bull to revoke all the rights of Roman Jews by ordering the creation of a ghetto. This neighborhood therefore began as a place of segregation, but today it is also one of the most culturally vibrant areas of the city. Here is the Tempio Maggiore, one of the largest synagogues in the world.
