Mon Repos on Corfu, Greece; Northern Façade from NW

            This is a black and white shot of ‘Mon Repos’, the famous villa, on Corfu Island within a 64-acre (258,000 m²) park, the Palaeopolis archaeological site of Corfu, Greece. The villa was designed by the local architect Ioannis Chronēs and was erected in 1831. It became the property of the former Greek royal family in May 1864 and was mainly used as their summer Palace since 1955 until 1967. 

On June 10, 1921 the late Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh (the father of 🇬🇧 HM King Charles III) was born there.  Mon Repos is currently used as an Archaeological Museum.
