The layout of Bologna's 16th century ghetto can still be precisely traced amid the narrow streets in the medieval heart of the city under the Two Towers.

via del Carro

Via dell'Inferno was the main artery crossed by a network of alleys and side streets: via dei Giudei, via Canonica vicolo S. Giobbe, vicolo Mandria, via del Carro and via Valdonica.

via dell'Inferno

The area was closed by two gates: the first at the entrance to via dei Giudei, the second at the entrance to via Oberdan.
The 15th century synagogue was located at via del Inferno 16. Today, a plaque on the current building marks the spot.
