The journey continues to the magnificent Spianada Square and elegant Liston, two of the most iconic and cosmopolitan landmarks of Corfu.
Here, the different cultural influences that shaped the city come together in a unique way. The Venetian heritage, French aesthetics and British presence have each left their own distinctive mark on Corfu’s architecture, public spaces and social life.
At Spianada and Liston, history exists alongside the contemporary life of the city, creating one of the most characteristic and recognisable images of Corfu.
