Monastery of Panagia Kassopitra

The Monastery of Panagia Kasopetra takes its visitors on an interesting tour full of historical events and fundamental changes that played a major role in shaping the features of Corfu as we know it today. This monastery was originally a pagan temple dedicated to the god Zeus, who the Greeks believed would protect their children from the dangers of the sea, but it turned into a Christian monastery dedicated to the Virgin Mary with the introduction of Christianity to Greece.
