Inside the Ghetto,Portico was built by Augustus for his sister Octavia.Area nearby is nice place to explor.
The portico itself and its surroundings are something you shouldn't miss on your Rome visit. It is located inside the Jewish Ghetto, and it's so full of history and energy that you will not regret it. Right next to it there's a museum talking about the nazis, would definitely recommend visiting. Also, it's free, so that's a win.
Nach antiker Quellen ließ Augustus zwischen 33 und 23 v. Chr. die Portikus im Namen seiner Schwester Octavia errichten.
Mit Portikus bezeichnet man in der neuzeitlichen Architektur vor allem die als Säulenhalle gestaltete Vorhalle.

We rumble without knowing the place and we were absolutely happy to discover it. Marvelous place to visit.
We happened upon this when seeing the Theatre Marcello across few meters away. It is impressive up close, but there is one sign with its historical background so it’s just a few minute look.
Neben dem jüdischen Viertel, wo man gut essen gehen kann. Kostenloser Blick auf historische Fragmente
Schön hier, eher zufällig nach dem Mittagessen im jüd. Ghetto haben wir den Durchgang zum Marcellus-Theater gefunden, der hier mit weiteren Ruinen und Säulen gespickt ist. Empfehlenswert.
This is a fascinating area, next to the Theatre of Marcello, with various excavated buildings and the portico that survived, as usual, by being absorbed into a church. Originally two temples and a library the area then suffered various fires and earthquakes before a church was built in the ruins and later, a fish market. It's quite amazing there is anything left! There are a few information boards and walkways so you can see the different levels of the site. Access is free and nearby is the Jewish synagogue and I think the museum of resistance to the Nazis.
