Menekrates Funeral Monument Corfu Town

A small circular tomb, constructed using stone slabs during the 6th century BC, stands not far south of the Old Town. While not open to visitors, it’s clearly visible from the street. A 10-verse inscription identifies it as a monument to Menekrates, an ambassador from Corfu who died at sea, while the splendid Lion of Menekrates, which was found nearby, is now in the Archaeological Museum.
