Maitland Monument in Corfu, Greece

Sir Thomas Maitland was a lieutenant-general in the British army and, from 1815 until 1823, he was the Lord High Commissioner of the Ionian Islands. This monument, called the Peristyle of Maitland, is located in Spianada Square. Its 20 Ionic columns and circular base were built with Maltese limestone. This seems appropriate because he was simultaneously the Governor of Malta until he died in 1824.
