The Venetian fortress Neo Fryrio is another important historical landmark, even though it has managed to survive to this day only partially. Built in the 16th century, the fortress has been repeatedly reconstructed under the guidance of British and French. The building is located in a very picturesque area, on top of Saint Mark's Hill. It is noteworthy that the preserved elements of the defensive construction are actively used even now. Some of the buildings are occupied by the seaport offices, and some of them are converted into a historical museum. Some rooms presently serve as exhibition halls where they regularly hold temporary exhibitions of various specifics.
Among Corfu's most beautiful architectural monuments is the Achilleion Palace built in the late 19th century. This sumptuous palace was built specifically for the Austrian Empress. After its completion, it became her favorite residence. After the empress' death, the rich snow-white palace with columns has remained in private ownership for some time and later became public property.

Now it is completely restored, an interesting historical museum operates within the walls of the palace. It stores collections of antique furniture, works of art, and interior items, as well as accessories that once belonged to representatives of the imperial family. The palace is surrounded by a lush landscaped garden, which in itself is an outstanding landmark.
