Featuring the tallest tower in Corfu, the St. Spyridon Church can be seen in the background. Built in 1596, the body of St. Spyridon rests in the church after arriving in Corfu in 1456. Before then it was kept in other churches. Ceiling decorations originally consisted of gold-plated wood carved by P. Doxaras who took until 1727 to complete the work. Lack of preservation meant the decorations where replaced later by Nicolaos Aspiotis. Four annual processions take place from the church, the one on August 11 marks the date the Turks abandoned the siege of Corfu in 1716.
