DIMARCHIOU (TOWN HALL) SQUARE It used to be the social, administrative and intellectual hub of Corfu during the Venetian Occupation. Today, it is considered as one of the most beautiful squares of the Old Town, thanks to the great buildings that surround it! From the Loggia (arcade) - the place of entertainment of the nobility, which now houses the Town Hall - and the Catholic Cathedral (San Giacomo) to the residence of the Latin Archbishop and the branch of the Bank of Greece, everything has been linked to great chapters of history. A setting of rare beauty that is worth capturing! EXTRA INFO: In the square you will see the statue of Iacovos Polylas (student of Dionysios Solomos). 63
