Welcome shade
A shady path along the upper square of Corfu town provides welcome shade. The Peristyle Maitland built by the British is in the background.At the end of the Spianada Square there is the Peristyle of Maitland commonly called Cistern. It is a beautiful construction with twenty columns built from Maltese stone in Ionian style. It serves as a cover of a big Venetian cistern and was built by Corfiots to honour the first British Governor of the Ionian Islands Thomas Maitland (1816-1824).
