Capri : Places of Archaeological Interest

 

The island of Capri, was in the past a part of the peninsula of Sorrento. Moreover, the fossils, stone weapons and tools discovered in 1906 close to the Quisisana Hotel, proved that it was inhabited as far back as Prehistoric times.

Objects found in the Felci Cave and other areas on the island confrim that man reappeared on the island towards the end of the Neolithic Age and in the Bronze Age.

Little is known of the Greek period during which the island was probably under the leadership first of Cuma and later of Naples: certain parts of the walls and perhaps even the "Pheonician Stairway", as it is

 

The island first became a residential centre in Roman times. The Emperor Augustus came to the island periodically to rest, and thanks to him many buildings were constructed. His successor, Tiberius, choose the island of Capri as his headquarters from 27 to 37 A.D. After the eruption of the Vesuvius in 79 A.D., which devastated only a part of the island, Capri was the summer residence of the Imperial Flavii family (69-96 A.D.).

 

The 2nd century A.D. saw the start of its decline, and the lack of archaeological findings dating to the late Roman age bear witness to this

 

Of the sixty of so architectural structures on the island, at least three are undoubtedly Imperial Villas. Villa Jovis, whose remarkable remains we can still see today, is on the Eastern promontory of the island in front of the cape of Campanella; Villa Damecuta, is in the far North Western corner of the island, in the current municipality of Anacapri; Palazzo a Mare, which was the favorite resience of Augustus, is still partly visible from the "Tiberian Baths", not far from the current port.

 

The archaeological areas of Villa Jovis and Damecuta are open to the public every day from 9.00 a.m. to one hour befor sunset.

카프리 섬(isola di Capri)은 이탈리아 남부 캄파니아 주 나폴리 현에 딸린 섬으로, 나폴리 만 입구, 소렌토 반도 앞바다에 위치한다.

카프리 섬의 동쪽과 중앙은 카프리에 속하며 서쪽은 아나카프리에 속한다.

섬 전체는 용암으로 뒤덮여 있으며, 온난한 기후와 아름다운 풍경의 관광지로 유명하다.

특히 로마 시대부터 알려진 ‘푸른 동굴’은 길이 53m, 너비 30m, 높이 15m의 해식동굴인데 햇빛이 바닷물을 통해서 동굴 안을 푸른빛으로 채운다
