CORFU WORTH SEEING PALEOPOLIS (MON REPOS ESTATE)

PALEOPOLIS (MON REPOS ESTATE)
The Agora of the ancient city of Kerkyra was located at Palaeopolis. In the vicinity, several public buildings were erected along with sanctuaries, workshops, residences of consuls, rich craftsmen and merchants, and the dockyards of the harbour of Alkinoos.

The first antiquities on the site were discovered during the British Protectorate, when part of the Doric temple at Kardaki collapsed due to bad weather conditions. Excavations conducted in the years 1936-1955 brought to light sections of the ancient Agora and the Early Christian basilica of St. Kerkyra. Since 1987 systematic excavations have been directed by K. Preka in collaboration with Prof. T. Hackens of the Louvain University. Recent excavations revealed the Roman baths, the dockyards of the harbour of Alkinoos and a large section of the stone pavement in the Agora. Extensive restoration work was carried out in the area of the Roman baths in 1994-95.

Doric temple at Kardaki, dated to the end of the 6th century B.C. in the picture.
