Special Features
The Jewish Ghetto in Venice is the oldest ghetto in the world and was established in 1516 by the Ruling Council of Venice. There are 4 synagogues in Venice of different sizes in Venice; 3 are Ashkenazi, and one is Sephardic (Schola Spagnola).
The Schola Spagnola synagogue is breathtaking inside with a touch of Byzantine and a definite Venetian flavor. It holds up to 250, but is fine for weddings with smaller groups too. The Chuppah used during the service dates several hundred years and the wedding party can arrive at the ghetto in a gondola.
For Orthodox couples wanting to celebrate their Jewish wedding in Italy, the Schola Spagnola is undoubtedly one of the finest synagogues in the country and the setting of Venice absolutely romantic!
A wedding in this Venetian synagogue is the ultimate Jewish wedding.
