Esplanade with a sumptuous palace and a museum of Asian art in Corfu.
The English, who were present for half a century from 1815 to 1864, developed the Esplanade(Spianáda in Greek) where they installed a cricket field. They also built, under the commission of Sir Thomas Maitland and thanks to the architect Sir George Whitemore, the St. Michael and St. George Palace to the north of the Esplanade. The palace was first used as the seat of the British governor. A sumptuous neoclassical palace with 32 Doric columns, it became one of the royal palaces when Corfu became part of Greece. Today it houses the Asian Art Museum.
