CHURCH OF AGHIOS SPIRIDONAS
Church with a remarkable clock and a beautiful dome in Corfu Chora.
The church, built in 1589, is named after the patron saint of Corfu, a native of Cyprus, and can be recognized by its clock and its red dome. The mummified body of the saint has been lying in the crypt since 1590 and is the object of pious veneration. A large procession is held on 11 August in memory of the day in 1716 when, according to legend, Spiridon appeared to the Corfiotes, brandishing a torch and putting the Turkish besiegers to flight.
