The Maitland Monument, also known as the Maitland Rotunda or the Maitland Peristyle, is a neoclassical monument at the end of Spianada Square in Corfu. It was built in 1821 in honor of Sir Thomas Maitland, a British military officer who was the last civil commissioner and first Lord High Commissioner of the Ionian Islands.
The monument is also known as the cistern because it was built on top of a Venetian-era underground water cistern, built in 1781. The monument's two entrances provided access to the water tank.
