Kapodistrias Mansion in Corfu, Greece
Corfu Sights & Monuments - The Kapodistrias Mansion in Corfu, Greece is a must-see attraction for history buffs. Originally built in 1840 by architect Ioannis Chronis, this impressive building was the former residence of the president of the Ionian Senate during the Ionian State period. After Greece was unified with the Ionian Islands, the Prefecture took up residence in the mansion. During WWII, the Italian Military Offices occupied the building, and today it is home to the Department of Foreign Languages, Translation, and Interpretation at the Ionian University. Though not a museum, the mansion's rich history is a testament to the cultural significance of Corfu Old Town.
