Fondaco dei Tedeschi

The Fondaco dei Tedeschi, a historic building in Venice, Italy, is situated along the Grand Canal, close to the iconic Rialto Bridge. It was a hostel and a warehouse for the city's German (Tedeschi) merchants and their imports. After being destroyed by fire in 1505, the Fondaco dei Tedeschi was rebuilt in a Renaissance architectural style.

It not only endured but also continued to serve its original purpose. Today, this building is used as a luxury mall located on Venice's Grand Canal.
