Οι ανασκαφές στην πεντάκλιτη Βασιλική του Ιοβιανού στην Παλαιόπολη έφεραν στο φως σημαντικά αποτελέσματα σχετικά με τη χρονολόγηση και τα κτηριακή διάρθρωση της αρχαίας Αγοράς της Κέρκυρας. Η ευρεθείσα στη θέση πρωτοκορινθιακή κεραμική (τέλη 8ου-αρχές 7ου π.Χ. αιώνα) προέρχεται από την φάση του κορινθιακού αποικισμού. Τα αρχιτεκτονικά κατάλοιπα καλύπτουν το διάστημα από την αρχαϊκή μέχρι την ρωμαϊκή εποχή και αναδεικνύουν την υψηλή θρησκευτική και κοσμική σημασία που είχε η θέση στην Αρχαιότητα.

O Ναός των Αγίων Ιάσονος και Σωσιπάτρου, μαθητών του αποστόλου Παύλου που πρώτοι δίδαξαν τον Χριστιανισμό στην Κέρκυρα, αποτελεί το σημαντικότερο βυζαντινό μνημείο του νησιού. Οικοδομήθηκε πιθανά τον 11ο αιώνα, ενδεχομένως πάνω στα ερείπια αρχαίου ναού, χρησιμοποιώντας επίσης δομικά υλικά από κατεστραμμένα κτήρια της παρακείμενης αρχαίας Παλαιόπολης. Κατασκευάστηκε από μάστορες της Αττικής ή Βοιωτίας, σε θέση προϋπάρχοντος καθολικού μονής και ήταν αφιερωμένος αρχικά στον Άγιο Ανδρέα και στη συνέχεια στους Αγίους Ιάσονα και Σωσίπατρο. Ο ναός έχει ορθογώνιο σχήμα, μήκους 16,30 μ. και πλάτους 12,20 μ. Αποτελεί ένα από τα αρχαιότερα δείγματα δικιόνιου (δίστυλου) σταυροειδούς εγγεγραμμένου με τρούλο ναού, ο οποίος στηρίζεται σε τοίχους και δυτικά σε δύο κίονες. 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.

It is located in the area Koukouritsa of Evropouli in Corfu, Greece. Ioannis Kapodistrias was the first governor of Greece, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Empire, and a great diplomat, politician, and physician. The property was donated by Maria Desylla-Kapodistria, great granddaughter of Georgios Kapodistrias, younger brother of Ioannis Kapodistrias, and the only one of the brothers who married. The museum was established in 1981. Ioannis Kapodistrias' summer home in the rural area of Koukouritsa in his birthplace of Corfu houses the museum showcasing exhibits commemorating his life and accomplishments. Maria Desylla-Kapodistria, a former mayor of Corfu (1956–1959) and the first female mayor in Greece, donated the residence to the three primary cultural societies of Corfu (the Reading Society of Corfu, the Philharmonic Society of Corfu and the Society of Corfiote Studies) specifically for that purpose. The museum also functions as a center for Kapodistrian and Corfiote studies.
