A small Jewish community was formed and became an important reference point for families living in the surrounding countryside.<\/div>\n<div class=\"mpfy-p-entry\">\n<p>The ghetto was founded in 1723 on the hilly part of the city (Piazza) on the slopes of which the most popular neighbourhood (Breo) developed. In 1724 a building\u00a0 in contrada Vico was chosen, a trading road located along the route of Catholic processions. The ghetto is characterised by a distinctive layout, directly overlooking a main road and in proximity to Christian houses; it is for this reason that the ghetto of Mondov\u00ec never really had gates in the true sense, rather it came to feature raised walls and closed off, pre-existing openings. Inside, different areas were connected by walkways and galleries, to avoid crossing outdoor spaces.<\/p>\n<p>During the 18th and 19th centuries, civil authorities granted permission to extend the original residential area to match a rise in the community\u2019s population, a total of 92 people at the turn of the century.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the addition of recent volumes within courtyards, the ghetto\u2019s original architectural fabric is still palpable today.<\/p>\n<p>In 1848 under the Savoy dynasty the age of the ghettos drew to a close.
