Fontego dei Turchi – Reproduction
The Fontego dei Turchi was built as a palace for the Pesaro family in the 13th century.
Its double Venetian-Byzantine style loggia reflects the purpose for which the building was created: a commercial warehouse for goods arriving from the East.
In 1381 the building was given to Nicolò d’Este, Lord of Ferrara, and later (in 1621) — after changing hands several times — it became the Fontego of the city’s Turkish merchants. From 1865 onward, it underwent extensive restoration work. It later housed the Correr Museum and, from 1923, the Natural History Museum.
