Ghetto 2

No trouble figuring out this is a Jewish area.
Unexpected reflection of some tourists in the Ghetto.
Looks like the Colliseum but is a portico that joined two temples in the Jewish area of the city. The old portion has been there since 26 BC. It became an important fish market area centuries later. The church established later still became known as the Chiesa dei San Angelo in Pescheria ( at the fish market). There used to be more porticos added as you can see from the isolated pillars on the right.
A perspective of size. That is Denise in the foreground. They built everything here Texas sized.
For Nick - the right to claim the heads of the largest fish.
