1836
This
building, which houses the Corfu Anagnostakis Society, one of the
earliest cultural foundations in modern Greece (founded in 1836),
stands almost directly opposite the High Commissioner’s
palace. The original construction of this building, which was a
residential mansion, goes back to the Venetian period, but it has
been subjected to a series of modifications and additions in the
19th century and later. It is one of the most characteristic
buildings in the town, and has an exterior staircase with a covered
landing emphasised by an elegant arcade.
