Covering the Capri

The Capri is located in the Mediterranean Sea, to the south of Italy. Divided between the cities of Capri and Anacapri – located in his highest part – the island is possessed like unfailing center to the Square by Humberto I, acquaintance as The Piazzetta, with a spectacular panorama of the mount Solaro. In this species of amphitheater, where the Saint's Church Estéfano is shown, with his domes and the ancient belfry of the Tower of the Clock, the bars and restaurants extract his tables outdoors. From here it is possible to contemplate all the alleys and ways, where there are opened the streets Vittorio Emanuelle, Camerelle and Croce replete with sophisticated shops and international marks that seal Capri as capital of the hautecouture.

Where it finishes the Route Camerelle there is a short footpath that he leads to Route It will swallow. In addition to elegant restaurants and hotels, they dazzle Town Discopoli, residence of writer Rainer Marra Rilke, and Town Lo Studio frequented by Neruda. To his end, it goes over to a big patio where from the stacks show themselves a spectacular sight. Hence also it is possible to take a narrow way called Pizzolungo, which borders on the coastal line and ends in the Natural Arch.

Close to there is located Grotta di Matermania, a 30 m deep cavity. of length where it is thought that formerly the cults were practised on the god Mitra or on Cibeles, the goddess of the nature. Departing from The Piazzetta also the walker comes across with the Gardens of August, that supports the sumptuous Roman landscaping of the epoch in which Capri was a part of the Empire (about 328 B.C.). Exuberant of flowers, perfumes and vegetation, in these gardens with patios the busts and statues are not missing, and from there there is contemplated, when not, a panorama worthy of postcard, dominated by the mounts Tuoro, Tiberio and San Michele.

The stamp of the Roman emperors survives in his beautiful residences. One of the most imposing is that of Tiberio, Town Jovis, whose remains were excavated between 1800 and 1900 and she is bigger that it is possible to see in the island. Town Damecuta, in Anacapri, is different of the interesting imperial towns of knowing.
