St. Spiridon's Cathedral

The bell tower and clock of St. Spiridon's Cathedral amidst the historic streets of the old town
All guides in Corfu recommend that visitors to the island should not leave this temple unattended. Inside the cathedral are the remains of St. Spiridon of Triumph, who helped the island's capital miraculously escape captivity by Turkish troops and the terrible plague epidemic. The locals believe that when the sun goes down and the shrine is empty, Spiridon appears in his domain and protects Kerkyra. Moreover, the Greeks believe that the saint's clothes wear out a lot because of this, and so they change him into another dress every year. Old clothes are crumbled into shreds and given in envelopes to those who wish, in the role of a kind of amulet. No other excursions in Corfu are as successful as the visit to the Cathedral of St. Spiridon.

Like many other attractions in Greece, this one is named after the Greek character Achilles. The palace square is decorated with busts of ancient Greek philosophers and sculptures of mythical creatures. The castle itself was erected in the 19th century on the orders of Elisabeth of Austria. Of particular interest are the interiors, which also tell the story of the heroes of Greek mythology, and the incredible hand-painted ceiling.

The Palace of St. Michael and St. George
Many tours in Kerkyra consider this object a valuable point in the tourist itineraries. The building was built in the early 19th century by the British for five years. The castle is made of limestone imported from Malta. Originally the site was to be the home of the English High Commissioner Sir Maitland. However, it later came into the possession of the royal family of Greece. At present, the castle was given under the Museum of Asian art. The number of exhibits here is about 10 thousand specimens.
