This building was modelled and textured by my friend, who has hardly even played a game of civ, and surely never visited this forum, and brought to civ standards by yours truly. This is the famous Grand Arsenal of Venice, world's first true industrial shipyard.
At the peak of its efficiency in the early sixteenth century, the Arsenal employed some 16,000 people who apparently were able to produce nearly one ship each day, and could fit out, arm, and provision a newly-built galley with standardized parts on a production-line basis not seen again until the Industrial Revolution.
The building comes with one 512x512 texture, has less than 2000 polys and is supplied with appropriate button (the wondermovie for it also exists, check Arian's wondermovie thread).
