The Orthodox Church of Saint
Anthony and Saint Andrew is located in the Old Town of Corfu. The Church was
rebuilt in 1753 in a place of an older Church, which possibly was first built
in the 15th century. Historically it is identified with the church in which the
Emperor Ioannis Palaiologo visited for the Divine Liturgy, when passing through
Corfu as an intermediary stop, during his journey towards Florence in 1439, in
order to resolve the significant issue of church union between the Orthodox
Church and the Roman Catholic Church.
