Popis: Sefardski Židov Daniel Rodriga predložio je Mletačkoj Republici izgradnju skale i lazareta u Splitu. Skala je služila kao luka, a lazaret je bio karantena. S obzirom na to da je Split bio važna poveznica između Istoka i Zapada, skala je postala mjestom za trgovinu. Ona je imala fortifikacijski sustav koji se sastojao od šest dvorišta. Lazaret je imao ulogu i u obrani grada od osmanskih napada, što dokazuje njegovu važnost za Split. Od sredine 19. stoljeća dijelovi se lazareta ruše, čime započinje njegovo propadanje. Poslije Drugoga svjetskog rata donesena je odluka o njegovu konačnom rušenju – što je tragedija – jer je predstavljao neprocjenjivu vrijednost.
Daniel Rodriga, a Sephardic Jew, suggested to the Venetian Republic the construction of the Scala and the Lazaretto in Split, which were to be a port and a quarantine area, respectively. Since Split was an important point of connection between the East and the West, the Scala became a place of trade. The Scala had a fortification system consisting of six courtyards. Furthermore, the Lazaretto even helped defend the city from the Ottoman conquests, which is just another evidence of how important it was for the town. Around 1850, parts of the Lazaretto began to collapse and this marked the beginning of its end. After World War II, a decision to demolish it was made, which is considered a great tragedy because of its inestimable value.
