The Jewish Community of Pernes-les-Fontaines (Vaucluse),

This small city, in the Papal States, at 8 km of Carpentras is called the city with 40 fountains. Since the Middle Age, Pernes-les-Fontaines hosted a Jewish Community. An important date is 1504 when a chart was edicted, imposing the gathering of the Jews in a single street, a ghetto called "carriero".
