Spianada Square is centrally located in Corfu old town, directly in front of the Museum of Asian Art in the Palace of St Michael and St George. Very picturesque.

At the top end of the 'Spaniada', Corfu Town's central park area, stands the Palace of St Michael and St George. This is the most significant building from the period of English rule and was originally built as the luxury residence of the then British Lord High Commissioner. It's now home to the Corfu Museum of Asian Art - the only one of its kind in Greece, dedicated to the arts of Asia.

What a gem ! Anyone visiting Corfu is well advised to add display this to their itinerary. It truly was an astonishing experience. It highlights the lifetime collection of a Corfiot diplomat called Gregórius Mános. He spent a lifetime collecting art pieces from assorted asian cultures and returned with it to Corfu. The government has set it up on display in a magnificent building that housed successive councils/governments - it was one of the highlights of our entire trip and is a ‘must visit’ if you get to Corfu.
3. Church of Saint Spiridon

Saint Spyridon Church , the miraculous and Saint of Corfu The history and the tradition of our local Church from 1456 is imminently connected with Saint Spyridon. The arrival of his holy relic from Istanbul, his staying in Corfu, the built of his church along with the establishment of five big feasts based on Him led the christians to believe that Corfu cannot exist without Him. But even our local Church owes Him a lot. Not only did He protect it during the hard times of the Venetian Occupation, but also from other foreign occupations. French, Russians, English, Italians and Germans have passed over our island, staying for different lapses of time.

Hi, The church has a lot of history behind. There are benches inside so you can sit and contemplate. Around the church are a lot of good stores where you can buy a lot of religious souvenirs.

If you are interested in British History this place will grab your attention. Set in a peaceful oasis in the centre of town, there are graves from when the island was a British Protectorate back in the early 1800's some from the Crimean war, first and second world wars and sailors killed in the Corfu Channel incident in 1946. British Civilians are also buried here and are still being buried here. A fascinating place.

Great panoramic views upstairs, beatiful old buildings, nice bar inside. A definite must visit and well worth the entrance fee of 6 euros per adult (or lower for students and kids). Loved it!
