Capri Free Tour<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Island of Capri<\/strong>, island near the southern entrance to the Bay of Naples<\/a>, Campania<\/a> regione<\/em> (region), southern Italy<\/a>. It lies opposite the Sorrento<\/a> peninsula, to which it was joined in prehistoric times. The island is a single block of limestone<\/a> 3.9 miles (6.25 km) long, with a maximum width of 1.8 miles and an area of 4 square miles (10 square km), rising to 1,932 feet (589 metres) at Monte Solaro in the west. Two indentations in its precipitous<\/a> cliff-lined coast serve as landing places: the Marina Grande on the north shore, protected by a breakwater, and the open Marina Piccola on the south, used when the north wind is particularly strong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inhabited in prehistoric times, the island<\/a> later became a Greek colony and then a resort (Capreae) of emperors in the early years of the Roman Empire<\/a>. The emperor Augustus<\/a> resided there, and Tiberius<\/a> built several villas, one of which, the Villa Iovis on the island\u2019s northeastern tip overlooking Naples<\/a>, has been excavated. During the 10th century the population, fearing pirate raids, moved from seaside settlements to the present towns, Capri (east) and Anacapri (west), high above the shore. Until a carriage road was built in the 19th century between Capri and Anacapri, the latter could only be reached from the sea by a flight of 800 steps called the Scala Fenicia (Phoenician Stairs). In the Middle Ages<\/a> Capri belonged to the Abbey of Montecassino and to the republic<\/a> of Amalfi<\/a> before passing to the Kingdom of Naples<\/a>. It changed hands between the French and the British several times during the Napoleonic Wars<\/a>, before being returned to the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies<\/a> in 1813. Stone<\/a> artifacts<\/a> have been found in one of the caves with which the rocky shores of Capri abound; the most notable of these is the Blue Grotto<\/a> (Grotta Azzurra), rediscovered in 1826 and accessible only by boat. Sunlight<\/a> entering through the water that fills most of the entrance gives it an extraordinary blue light, whence its name. There are ruins of two medieval<\/a> castles<\/a>, the Castello di Barbarossa and the Castiglione, and the oldest church<\/a> (10th\u201311th centuries) is that of St. Costanzo, the island\u2019s patron saint<\/a>. The Villa San Michele, built by the Swedish writer Axel Munthe<\/a>, is on the site of a Tiberian villa. Britannica QuizIslands and Archipelagos<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since the second half of the 19th century, Capri has gradually become one of the most popular resorts in southern Italy<\/a>, famous for its magnificent scenery and the mild climate<\/a> in which vegetation flourishes<\/a> despite a general lack of water. The flora<\/a> is among the most varied in Italy, and large numbers of migratory birds<\/a> rest there for days. The name of the island has two possible origins, either capra<\/em> (\u201cgoat\u201d) or kapros<\/em> (\u201cwild boar\u201d). There are fine bathing beaches and numerous hotels and villas, and Capri is connected with Naples and Sorrento by frequent steamer and hydrofoil<\/a> services. Besides tourism<\/a>, agriculture (vineyards, olives<\/a>, citrus<\/a> fruits<\/a>) and fishing<\/a> are carried on. An undersea aqueduct<\/a> bringing fresh water from the mainland to support all these activities was completed in 1978.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
