O Ναός των Αγίων Ιάσονος και Σωσιπάτρου, μαθητών του αποστόλου Παύλου που πρώτοι δίδαξαν τον Χριστιανισμό στην Κέρκυρα αποτελεί το σημαντικότερο βυζαντινό μνημείο της Κέρκυρας. Οικοδομήθηκε, πιθανά τον 11ο αιώνα, ενδεχομένως πάνω στα ερείπια αρχαίου ναού, χρησιμοποιώντας επίσης, δομικά υλικά από κατεστραμμένα κτίρια της παρακείμενης αρχαίας Παλαιόπολης. Κατασκευάστηκε από μάστορες της Αττικής ή Βοιωτίας, σε θέση προϋπάρχοντος καθολικού μονής και ήταν αφιερωμένος αρχικά στον Αγ. Ανδρέα και στη συνέχεια στους Αγίους Ιάσονα και Σωσίπατρο. Ο ναός έχει ορθογώνιο σχήμα, μήκους 16,30 μ. και πλάτους 12,20 μ.

Στο εσωτερικό του, που αρχικά ήταν κατάγραφο από τοιχογραφίες, σήμερα σώζονται λίγα τμήματά τους, που χρονολογούνται από τον 11ο έως τον 14ο αιώνα. Το μαρμάρινο τέμπλο είναι του 18ου αιώνα σε μπαρόκ ρυθμό.
