Fuggerei
Walk through the gates of this walled enclave to find a unique piece of Bavaria. The Fuggerei is an architectural heritage monument and the world's oldest public housing complex still in use. It was founded in 1516 by Jakob Fugger the Younger as a place where the needy citizens of Augsburg could be housed. While the inception was in 1521, the site expanded quickly, reaching 52 houses by 1523. Today, it remains a cultural heritage ensemble and hospital. I've noticed the walls make it feel like a tiny village hidden right inside the city.
