Gardens of Augustus, Botanical garden in Capri, Italy.
The Gardens of Augustus extend across multiple terraces, presenting Mediterranean plants including Aleppo pines, cypress trees, junipers, and palm trees.
Friedrich Alfred Krupp acquired this land in the early 1900s to build his residence, and in 1918 the gardens were renamed to honor Emperor Augustus.
A monument created by sculptor Giacomo Manzù stands in the gardens, commemorating Lenin's visit to Capri between 1908 and 1910.
The gardens provide direct access to Via Krupp, a serpentine path leading to Marina Piccola bay through a sequence of sharp switchbacks.
The garden terraces, designed by Mimì Ruggiero, incorporate native island flora specimens among geometric flower arrangements and neoclassical statues.
