This print captures the majestic Bell Tower of Tenedos Church along Dionisiou Solomou in Corfu, Greece. Standing proudly at the top of Solomou Street under the watchful eye of the New Fortress, this Roman Catholic church is dedicated to the Blessed Virgin of Carmel. Its name originates from an ancient icon of the Virgin Mary that was brought to Corfu when the Venetians were compelled to leave their occupied island of Tenedos due to Turkish invasion in 1657. The construction of this remarkable church and monastery began in 1663 and was finally completed in 1749. The architectural beauty and historical significance are evident as you gaze upon its stone structure against a backdrop of clear blue skies and fluffy white clouds. Surrounded by vibrant flowers, including bougainvillea, this old quarter nestled within Corfu's old city is a popular tourist destination for those seeking a glimpse into Greece's rich cultural heritage.
