[[Lazaretto Island]], formerly known as St. Dimitrios, is located {{cvt|1.1|km}} off the coast northeast of the city [[Corfu (city)|Corfu]]. Lazaretto has an area of {{cvt|7.1|ha|1}} and comes under the administration of the Greek National Tourist Organization. During Venetian rule in the early 16th century, a monastery was built on the islet and a leprosarium established later in the century, after which the island was named. In 1798, during the French occupation, the islet was occupied by the [[Russia|Russo]]-Turkish fleet, who ran it as a military hospital. During the period of [[United States of the Ionian Islands|British rule]], in 1814, the leprosarium was once again opened after renovations, and following [[Enosis]] in 1864 the leprosarium again saw occasional use.<ref name="koine"/> During [[World War II]], the [[Axis occupation of Greece]] established a [[Nazi concentration camp]] there for the prisoners of the [[Greek resistance]],<ref name="Travel to Corfu"/> while remaining today are the two-storeyed building that served as the Headquarters of the Italian army, a small church, and the wall against which those condemned to death were shot.<ref name="koine">{{cite web |url=http://koine.terapad.com/index.cfm?fa=contentNews.newsDetails&newsID=10608&from=list |title=Corfu honored with a new museum |publisher= |website=Koine.terapad.com |access-date=29 June 2009}}</ref><ref name= "Travel to Corfu">{{cite web |url=http://www.travel-to-corfu.com/page.php?id=46&back=corfu.php |title=Lazaretto Islet |publisher= |website=Travel-to-Corfu.com |access-date=29 June 2009}}</ref>
