Churches etc.

Having visitors means that I also discover new places in Rome. Thanks to my father's visit, I finally managed to see the synagogue (and the Jewish museum) inside.

And I learnt some basic facts about the Roman ghetto so now I know what to reply when my guests ask:

• the Jews are in Rome since II sec. a.c.
• the ghetto was created by the Pope Paolo IV in 1555 and lasted until 1870!
• currently the Community is formed mainly by the Libyan Jews.

I need to remember!

Another day, another church - this time basilica of San Paolo fuori la Mura.

And by the way, birds are back!
