Empress Elisabeth of Austria, known as Sisi, built the Achilleion Palace on the Greek island of Corfu in 1890.
The palace, constructed in 1890 as a refuge after the tragic death of her son, reflected Sisi's deep admiration for Greek mythology and the heroic ideal of Achilles, who was a significant symbol for her. The palace, which was later purchased by Kaiser William II, is now a museum dedicated to Sisi and the mythology that inspired it
