Museum of Palaiopolis - Mon Repos

The Museum of Palaiopolis occupies the Mon Repos villa, a neoclassical building surrounded by gardens and archaeological sites two kilometers from Corfu town center.

The villa was constructed in 1828 for British High Commissioner Frederick Adams during the British administration of the Ionian Islands, following designs by architect George Whitmore.

The ground floor displays artifacts from the British period, while the first floor houses archaeological findings from ancient Palaiopolis, the center of ancient Corfu.

The museum opens daily except Tuesdays from 8:00 to 20:00 in summer and 8:30 to 15:30 in winter, with admission fees of 4 euros in summer and 2 euros in winter.

Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh and husband of Queen Elizabeth II, was born in this villa, which later became a museum showcasing local heritage.
