The Rotunda, Spianada, Corfu
On one of my walks through Corfu Old Town this week, I took this angled shot of the Maitland Rotunda in the Spianada.
It was built to commemorate Sir Thomas Mailtland, the second Lord High Commissioners of the Ionian Island during the British administration. The Brits were not exactly kind to the Greek people, their saving grace was that the built infrastructure.
