Description Achilleion is a palace built in Gastouri,Corfuby Empress of Austria,Elisabeth of Bavaria, also known as Sisi, after a suggestion by AustrianConsulAlexander von Warsberg. Elisabeth was a woman obsessed with beauty, and very powerful, but tragically vulnerable since the loss of her only son,Crown Prince Rudolf of Austria in1889. A year later in 1890, she built a summer palace in the region of Gastouri, now the municipality ofAchilleion, about ten kilometers to the south of the city of Corfu. The palace was designed with the mythical heroAchillesas its centraltheme. Corfu was Elizabeth's favorite vacation place and she built the palace because she admired Greece and its language and culture. Achilleion's location provides a panoramic view of Corfu city to the north, and across the whole southern part of the island. The architectural design was intended to represent an ancient palace of mythicalPhaeacia.
