| 释义 |
Lazaretto Island, (Greek: Λαζαρέτο, also Lazareto, formerly known as Aghios Dimitrios) is located two nautical miles northeast of Corfu. The island has an area of {{convert|7|ha|acre|abbr=on}} and is administered by the Greek National Tourist Organization. It gets its name from the lazaretto located there. During Venetian rule in the early 16th century a monastery was built on the islet and a leprosarium was established there later that century, after which the island was named. In 1798, during the French occupation, it was occupied by the Russo-Turkish fleet which ran it as a military hospital. During the British occupation, in 1814, the leprosarium was again opened after renovations. After Enosis in 1864 the leprosarium saw occasional use.[1] During World War II, the Axis Occupation of Greece established a concentration camp there for the prisoners of the Greek National Resistance movement.[2] There remains today the two-storied building that served as the Headquarters of the Italian army, a small church, and the wall against which those condemned to death were shot.[1][2] References1. ^1 Corfu honored with a new museum {{Corfu (city)}}{{Ionian Islands}}{{coord|39|38|56|N|19|52|50|E|region:GR-22_type:isle_source:kolossus-dewiki|display=title}}2. ^1 Travel to Corfu 6 : Corfu|Leper colonies|Islands of the Ionian Islands (region)|Islands of Greece|Landforms of Corfu (regional unit)|Medical and health organizations based in Greece |
