Spianada is the grand public square of Corfu, a vast, green esplanade that is the largest in Greece. Flanked by elegant arcades, the Liston, and the Palace of St. Michael and St. George, it offers a blend of Venetian and British colonial charm. The square's cricket ground is a unique remnant of British rule, where matches are still played. Visitors can stroll along the promenade, relax on the grass, and enjoy views of the Old Fortress. It's a vibrant hub for festivals, concerts, and daily life.
