Antivouniotissa Museum
Αντιβουνιώτισσα
A Byzantine museum housed in a 15th-century church on the Old Town's north seafront, showing Cretan school icons and an elaborate gilded wooden ceiling.
This single-nave church stands on the sea wall on the north side of the Old Town and is one of Corfu's oldest churches. Its interior retains a gilded wooden ceiling and an iconostasis. The museum displays icons from the 15th to the 19th centuries, many by painters who fled Ottoman rule in Crete, and it is a good window onto the art of the Ionian Islands. Admission is about 4 euros. The museum is often closed on Tuesdays, and the entrance requires climbing a flight of steps.
