Communication with the city is via a 60m iron bridge over the moat (contra-fossa). Inside, the Martinego and Savorgnan bastions are distinguishable, as well as the impressive gate by architect Sanmichelli. Besides the Venetian fortifications with the Lions of St. Mark, there are also buildings from the English period. Today it houses the Prefecture Archives, the Public Library, departments of the Ionian University, while events take place in the &#8220;Versiada&#8221; area.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top: 0;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-54722 size-full aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/fest.europeanschoolradio.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Pf1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"490\" height=\"283\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fest.europeanschoolradio.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Pf1.png 490w, https:\/\/fest.europeanschoolradio.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Pf1-300x173.png 300w, https:\/\/fest.europeanschoolradio.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Pf1-345x198.png 345w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 490px) 100vw, 490px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top: 0;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-54721 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/fest.europeanschoolradio.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Pf2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"490\" height=\"309\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fest.europeanschoolradio.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Pf2.png 490w, https:\/\/fest.europeanschoolradio.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Pf2-300x189.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 490px) 100vw, 490px\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"flex: 1; min-width: 250px; background-color: #f8f9fa; border: 1px solid #e9ecef; border-radius: 6px; padding: 15px; font-size: 0.95em;\">\n<div style=\"margin-bottom: 8px;\"><strong>\ud83d\udccd Distance from center:<\/strong> 300 m.

The interior is evocative, with &#8220;wallpaper&#8221; on the walls and stone gravestones on the floor. The icons (15th-19th century) highlight Corfu&#8217;s role after 1664, when many painters of the Cretan School took refuge on the island.
