The Corfu Byzantine Collection is a small museum inside Corfu’s Old Fortress, with a focused display of Byzantine art in one room. Pair it with time to explore the fortress grounds and climb to the upper parts for views over Corfu town. The steep paths and steps call for comfortable walking shoes. Access to parts of the wider complex may require an entrance fee, so check the entry arrangements if you are visiting specifically for the collection.
The collection inside the Old Fortress
The Corfu Byzantine Collection occupies one room in a building within the Old Fortress. Its display is limited in scope, so it is a focused stop for anyone interested in Byzantine art rather than a large museum visit.
The building also has a museum shop. The collection sits within a wider fortress complex, where paths and steps lead through the grounds.
Planning your visit
The fortress is part of the appeal: visitors can explore its grounds and reach upper areas with views over Corfu town. Allow for steep sections and steps, and choose shoes suited to walking on uneven routes.
Access to parts of the complex may require an entrance fee. If the collection is your only destination, check the current entry arrangements before setting out.
