Zákynthos, also known as Zante, is a city on the Ionian island of the same name, off Greece’s west coast. A ruined castle above the city attests to centuries of Venetian rule. The Byzantine Museum, with its arcade of arches, sits on central Solomos Square. Its displays of religious art include frescoes and icons. The belfry of the 16th-century Agios Markos Church was modelled on that of St. Mark’s Basilica in Venice.
