Corfiot Maltese information


The Palace of St. Michael and St. George, built in Maltese limestone in Corfu town in 1819-1824. The sculptural elements of the palace are the work of the Maltese sculptors Vincenzo and Ferdinando Dimech, as well as the Corfiot sculptor Pavlos Prosalentis.[1]

The Corfiot Maltese are a population from the Greek island of Corfu (Kerkyra) with ethnic and religious ties to the islands of Malta. A large community of descendants of Maltese is still present in Corfu.[2] In the case of the Maltese Corfiot, who lost knowledge of the Maltese language in favour of Greek in the first half of the 20th century, religious confession remained the strongest identity marker.[3] Maltese Corfiots today make up 2/3 of the local Catholic community.
