PALACE OF SS. MICHAEL & GEORGE
1819
The most important monument of British Rule, one of the first neoclassical structures in Greece. Built with Malta stone. The façade is decorated with a Doric colonnade, interrupted by two majestic gates forming triumphal arches at curves at its ends, delineating the northern edge of the Spianada. The central part over the cornice is adorned with reliefs by the Corfiot sculptor Prosalendis, while the walls and ceilings of the main halls have rich relief and painted decoration
