Corfu Town: Fire in Patounis Soap Factory Building


Fire in historic soap factory building  but it seems the ground-floor soap factory itself was only slightly damaged

From Corfu Press - Τεράστιες καταστροφές προκάλεσε πυρκαγιά που ξέσπασε τα μεσάνυχτα περίπου, στο κτίριο που στεγάζεται η ιστορική Σαπωνοποιεία Πατούνη. Φόβοι για τα ιστορικά αντικείμενα και τους πίνακες που υπάρχουν.
