Fondaco del Megio, Grain depot in Santa Croce, Italy.
The Fondaco del Megio stands as a brick palace along the Grand Canal, featuring three ground-floor portals and thirteen small windows across its facade.
Built during the 13th century, this structure functioned as a storage facility for millet and grains until the Republic of Venice fell in 1797.
The building displays a reconstructed bas-relief of the Lion of St. Mark, indicating its status as property of the Venetian Republic.
Located at Calle del Megio Santa Croce 1779, the former grain depot now serves as an elementary school for local children.
The structure's roofline incorporates medieval triangular merlons, different from the common Guelph or Ghibelline designs found in other Italian cities.
