Places to visit
Old fortress and New fortress
The historical center of Corfu town is delimited by the two fortresses. The ancient one is situated along the east side, on the sea, while the new one is on the west side. On the old fortress is built Georgios church, an orthodox church built in 1840 using materials from the ruined houses surrounding the area. During the past, the two fortresses of Corfu were linked by large walls, so that the inhabitants could live safely inside.
