Educational Visits In Rome

Other Study Visits

  • The Great Synagogue
    The Jewish community of Rome goes back to the 2nd century B.C. The present Synagogue was constructed shortly after the unification of Italy in 1870. In 1986, Pope John Paul II made an unexpected visit to the Great Synagogue. This event marked the first known visit by a pope to a synagogue since the early history of the Roman Catholic Church. He prayed with Rabbi Elio Toaff, the former Chief Rabbi of Rome.
  • Church of San Clemente
    A visit to this church is ideal for Christianity studies, to give your students the opportunity to discover the famous Tree of Life Mosaic. Your students can discover the meanings of the symbols in the mosaic.
  • The Jewish Museum of Rome
    For students on an RE school trip, a visit here includes a virtual tour of the Old Jewish Ghetto where you’ll ‘walk’ down the streets of the ancient Ghetto as they were centuries ago. A visit can be combined with a guided tour of the Great Synagogue of Rome and the Spanish Synagogue.
