Liston, Pedestrian street in Corfu, Greece
The Liston features stone arcades with high arches extending along a series of connected Venetian buildings with French architectural elements.
French commissioner Mathieu de Lesseps initiated the construction of the Liston in 1807, modeling it after Paris's Rue de Rivoli during French rule.
The term Liston originates from Venetian vocabulary, referring to the marble slabs used for street paving in various Italian cities.
The ground floor arcades house numerous coffee shops and restaurants with outdoor seating areas facing the Spianada square.
The street maintains its original stone pavement and serves as a central location for cricket matches, a sport introduced during British administration.
