The Church of Christ the Savior is a historic church in the forest of Mon Repos in Corfu Town.
The church dates back to the beginning of the 16th century and is a heritage of the Midei family. Around the middle of the 16th century, a monastery was founded in the church, and under Venetian rule the private church became public in the 17th century.
The Church of Christ the Savior has the architectural style of a single-aisled Heptanesian basilica, with a three-sided apse and a narthex on the western side. In the 19th century, the bell tower was added to the southern side of the complex. In the mid-20th century, an adjacent one-story building was added to the church.
Inside the church, some of the original fresco paintings have been preserved on the eastern and northern walls. Wall paintings in the narthex depict the Transfiguration of the Savior and two of the church’s proprietors praying. The narthex also contains a tomb in the form of an arcosolium. On the marble doorframe of the northern entrance, the coat of arms of the noble Chalikiopoulos family can be spotted.
