Religieuze bezienswaardigheden op de Ionische Eilanden

Religious Heritage

The Ionian Islands' religious landscape is defined by a blend of Byzantine traditions and Venetian architectural influences. This collection includes the 16th-century St. Spyridon Church, home to Corfu's patron saint, and the Monastery of Paleokastritsa, which houses a collection of post-Byzantine icons. From the Renaissance-style Saint Nikolaos on the Mole in Zakynthos to the hilltop Monastery of Faneromeni in Lefkada, these sites showcase centuries of ecclesiastical history, traditional olive presses, and rare religious artifacts overlooking the Ionian Sea.
