Fondaco dei Turchi

The Fondaco dei Turchi (Venetian: Fontego dei Turchi, Türk Hanı) is a palazzo in classical Venetian style, later referred to as the Turks' Inn, on the Grand Canal of Venice, northeastern Italy. Since the early 17th century until the 19th century, the Fondaco Dei Turchi served as a residence for Venice's Ottoman Turkish population (hence "dei Turchi"). The fondaco (from fonduk) functioned as a combination home, warehouse, and market for the Turkish traders. The structure, commissioned by Giacomo Palmier, took inspiration from Islamic, renaissance and Byzantine architecture. It was rebuilt by the government in 1869.
