Santa Maria · Jewish quarter
The municipality records a Jewish community and the Giudecca before the expulsion ordered in 1492. Local accounts connect Santa Maria with San Basilio, Pagana, Santa Caterina, Bucceria and Giudecca. Its lanes and houses offer a walk through the town’s shared history. These sources do not identify a specific surviving synagogue or ritual bath with certainty.
