The biggest square in the Balkans is on a Greek island! (PHOTOS)

It is also the 27th in the world

Which is the biggest square in Greece and where is it? The answer

is the Spianada Square and it is on an island: Corfu! It is not just the

biggest square in Greece but of all the Balkans. It also is the 27th in the word!

It covers a total of 84.000 sq.m. However, its size is not the only thing that

is important, for it is also a historic square. Its name comes from the Italian

word “spianare”, which means “to level down”. In 1576 it was decided that

the buildings in front of the castle should be demolished for defensive

reasons and to improve the…view they had. In 2,5 years about 2.500

buildings were demolished!
