Capraia Isola, Island commune in Tuscan Archipelago, Italy
The third largest island of the Tuscan Archipelago spans 19 square kilometers with steep cliffs, Mediterranean vegetation, and numerous secluded bays along its coastline.
The island transformed from an Etruscan settlement to a Genoese stronghold, later housing a penal colony from 1873 to 1986 before becoming a tourist destination.
Local festivals include the Totano Festival in November, celebrating squid fishing with competitions and regional food presentations from the Tuscan tradition.
Regular ferry services connect the port of Livorno to Porto di Capraia, with a single paved road leading from the harbor to the main village.
The volcanic origin of Capraia creates distinctive red cliffs at Cala Rossa, where mineral deposits form natural patterns against the Tyrrhenian Sea.
