Old Fortress And Corfu Old Town: History And Culture
The Old Town of Corfu with its two Forts is a Unesco World Heritage Monument under criterion iv. Its architecture in relation to defence make it a unique example with a distinct contribution to human history. Imposing bastions, battlements, labyrinthine secret chambers, cisterns, shelters and powder magazines. Come with us through the Liston square and visit the imposing Orthodox church of St. Spyridon where his venerable relic is kept. See the shell of the first lyric theatre in Greece, which today houses the services of the Municipality of Corfu and join us on a walk through the Jewish quarter. Here the traces of the World War II can still be seen. Half-demolished buildings are still waiting for their owners to return from the concentration camps, while around the neighbourhood the district is bustling with life and activity.
