Review:

Named in honor of the wealthy Fugger family who built it, Fuggerei is a social housing complex that was constructed in the early 1500s. The walled complex was built to provide affordable housing for Roman Catholic laborers and their families, and it's still inhabited today, which makes it the world's oldest social housing project. Incredibly, the price of rent hasn't been raised since medieval times, and it stands at 88 euro cents per year. Visitors are welcome to explore the complex for a small fee, and one of the ground floor apartments has been turned into a museum display.
