Tomb of Menecrates

The Tomb of Menecrates is an Archaic-period cenotaph in Corfu, Greece, built around 600 BC in the ancient city of Korkyra[1]. The tomb and its funerary lion sculpture were discovered in 1843 during demolition of a Venetian-era fortress at Garitsa hill by British forces of the United States of the Ionian Islands[1]. Dated to the sixth century BC, the monument represents a rare example of Archaic funerary architecture in the western Greek world[1].
