Cannaregio Sestiere, the Jewish Ghetto & Fondamente Nove Waterfront

The sestiere of Cannaregio — the most populous of Venice's six districts, stretching from the railway station at its western end to the northern lagoon waterfront at Fondamente Nove — contains the oldest Jewish ghetto in the world, established in 1516 when the Venetian Senate confined the city's Jewish population to a walled island in the Cannaregio district.
