The Canton Schola is in the Ghetto Nuovo square. It was founded in 1531 but thanks to restorations in the 18th century it has become a baroque synagogue with rococo style. This is one of the synagogues that you can visit on the guided tour.

The Italian Schola is in the Ghetto Nuovo square. It is the simplest of the five Venetian synagogues. Built in 1575, by Italian jews who migrated from the south, on top of some apartments in the same square as the German synagogue. The Italian Synagogue has a cupola, barely visible from the square outside, and a portico with columns marking its entrance. It can be visited on a guided tour run by the Jewish Museum.

The Spanish Schola
