     The earliest settlement in Corfu dates back to the Neolithic period (6000 BC) that was replaced by the Cretans who colonized the area. Later Corfu joined the East Roman Empire and suffered from continual attacks by the Vandals, Huns, and Normans. It wasn't the last attack of Corfu as further it became a focus of the Venetian interest, British and French. During the World War I the French took temporary over the area in 1916, but it resulted in bombing and bloody campaigns on the island. Even though the most of the city's architecture was destroyed, it became very popular with tourists and in 1962 a palace built for Elizabeth, empress of Austria was transformed into first casino in Corfu.
