The island jewel of the gulf, famous all over the world for the Blue Cave, the Faraglionis, the stupendous flora, the very beautiful panorama, the delicious climate in all the seasons.

The most recent architecture is represented from the Chartreuse of St. Giacomo (1371) with small cloister and great cloister (' 400 and' 500), and from the Parish one of S. Stephen (century XVII) that it leans out its Baroque forms on the coquettish and famous one "piazzetta."

It is surrounded from the Tower of the clock, perhaps bell tower of the ancient cathedral, from the city public offices (situated in the places of the ex Episcopalian building) and from shops and coffee; her ago from scene the picturesque left side of the church of S. Stefano. 
The plaza already had to make part of the primitive nucleus lived of Capri (V-IV sec. a.C.), as they would testify some lines of boundaries in blocks of limestone, part in square work, part in the most ancient technique of the work pseudopoligonale, visible from the extremity of the terrace of the funicular, incorporated between houses and boundaries medioevali, on the side Northeast of the inhabited area. With another building line to the strata of the Castiglione and others destroyed since the Roman epoch, they formed the imposing surrounded strengthened of the Greek acropolis. 
Around the plaza it grows thick the district medioevale, of notable historical-urbanistic interest, characterized by a tangle of tortuous little roads. 

 
The German magnate Krupp financed in 1900. the construction of a pedestrian road that united the Hotel Quisisana, resided where, to the beach Marina Piccola. 
Realized in admirable way by the ingegner Emilio Mayer, it has been defined "the most beauti ful road of the world" for it extraordinary adherence to the rock to which takes root and for the correct use of the local construction materials.

Villa Jovis
The greatest imperial villa of the island, made to build from Tiberio to the beginnings of the The sec. AD, scoperta nel '700 sotto Carlo di Borbone. The first exploration happened in 1827; I dig it was, then widened in 1932-35 by A.

The Blue Cave 
The existence of the Blue Cave is revealed in August of 1826 by the August German writer Kopish that it described of it, for the first time, the extraordinary beauty. Since then the Blue Cave represents the emblem of the island in Capri; but the enchantment of this place has well more remote origins; the cave in fact it was already known in Roman epoch as they show the ancient statues found again on the backdrop. Such recovery, the presence of a particular plan of landing and the interventions in the underlying burrow, allow to imagine an ornate natural cavern of statues: a ninfeo prepared around the intense and bright blue of the sea that anchors today fascinates the visitors. The cave was note to the capresis with the name of Cave Gradola, from the neighbor port of Gradola, but you/he/she was avoided because of ancient legends that wanted her/it populated of witches and monsters. 
The fortunate coincidence of conditions geologiche and speleologiche you/he/she has created the double spell. The solar light, penetrates from a hollow subaquea and through the sea water, it creates a blue reflex that illuminates the cavern.
