The Palace of St. Michael and St. George is a magnificent neoclassical building constructed during the British protectorate of the Ionian Islands. It served as the residence of the British High Commissioner and now houses the Museum of Asian Art, one of the few museums in Greece dedicated to Asian artifacts. The palace's grand state rooms, with their ornate ceilings and period furniture, offer a glimpse into colonial elegance. Visitors can explore galleries filled with Chinese porcelain, Japanese prints, and Indian sculptures, all while enjoying panoramic views of the sea and the Esplanade.
