Cathedral of Saint James and Saint Christopher, Renaissance cathedral in Corfu, Greece
The Cathedral of Saint James and Saint Christopher features a single aisle layout with six chapels and a central Holy Bema containing the Crucified Christ.
The cathedral, consecrated in 1553 by Archbishop James Cocco, replaced the former Catholic cathedral located within the old fortress of Corfu.
The cathedral houses an extensive collection of ecclesiastical paintings, including the Virgin Vrefokratousa Enthroned by Konstantinos Tzanes from 1654.
Located at Piazza San Giacomo in central Corfu, the cathedral maintains regular services and welcomes visitors throughout the year.
German bombing in 1943 destroyed much of the interior, leading to extensive reconstruction efforts that concluded in 1970 under Archbishop Anthony Barthalitis.
