Kapsali Bridge

The English stone bridge of Kapsali is located on the main road and, although impressive, often goes unnoticed. It is built over the valley of Vythula, which ends up at Sparagario beach. It is one of many public works conducted during the British rule (1809-1864), and implemented by forced labor. The bridge is adorned with a built-in memorial plate, featuring a meandering pattern, which mentioned by Sir Thomas Maitland, Lord High Commissioner of the Ionian Islands. As Commissioner, he had absolute authority over the United States of the Ionian Islands, through official representatives on every island. In the capital of that era, Corfu, one can see the Maitland Monument: the neoclassical rotunda in Spianada Square.
