Island Archaeological Sites
Capri’s archaeological landscape is dominated by the legacy of Emperor Tiberius, most notably at the sprawling Villa Jovis and the coastal Bagni di Tiberio. The island also features a network of defensive structures, including the well-preserved La Guardia Tower and the coastal forts of Orrico and Mesola along the western cliffs. Natural formations like the Grotta di Matermania provided spaces for ancient rituals, while various Roman ruins scattered across the heights offer insight into the island's strategic and residential history during the first century.
