This is a detail from the map by Giovanni Battista Bragadin, "Dissegno topografico della citta di Corfu", mid eighteenth century (c. 1755?), dedicated to Andrea Tron.
They have a copy at the Society of Corfiot Studies (Solomos Museum).
Who was Raymond?
Demetris Konidaris and Demetris Lappas (Kerkyra - Polis Perigysi, 2015) suggest that the name has nothing to do with someone called Raymond, but that it derives rather from the Italian words "rai" and "mondo" (see page 104).
