The New Fort and Tenedos<br />
One of the most historically impressive areas<br />
of Corfu Town is the area defined by a semicircle<br />
around the old port. Here you can find<br />
the New Fort, Spilia and the Tenedeos church.<br />
Dominating the area is the New Fort, one of<br />
the most impressive of Mediterranean<br />
fortifications. Building started in 1576 by the<br />
Venetians and was added to by the British - it<br />
is not only well-preserved but has excellent<br />
views of the old town from the summit.<br />
On the way to the New Fort you pass up an<br />
old cobbled lane which has a 17th century<br />
Catholic monastery and domed church of<br />
Tenedos dedicated to the Virgin Mary. This is<br />
one of the most beautiful Catholic churches on<br />
the island. The lane continues through a tunnel<br />
through the walls of the fort to the town<br />
market place<br />
