| View from the entry door of the Turtles Nest. The main Jewish synagogue dome. It is quadrangular, all made in aluminium, and naturally with no cross. The roofs and the palaces are those of the Jewish quarters, Rome's famous Ghetto. The high trees you can see flank the river Tiber. In the distance you can see the Aventine Hill, with the important compound of the Convent of San Saba, and to the extreme right, topped by a flag, you can see the palace hosting the international headquarters of the Knights of Malta, a powerful independent international moral and charity institution. It is here that you find the famous keyhole from which you can see St. Peter's dome. |
