Palace of St Michael and St George

The Palace of St Michael and St George in Kérkyra is Corfu’s grand neoclassical landmark, built by the British in the early 19th century. Overlooking the sea beside the Old Fortress, it stands out for its elegant colonnades, formal gardens, and historical role as the seat of British administration in the Ionian Islands. Today it houses the Museum of Asian Art, adding an unexpected cultural dimension. It’s a worthwhile stop for visitors interested in architecture, history, and a quieter contrast to Corfu’s busier streets.
