Villa Jovis

The imperial residence extends across eight levels over 7,000 square meters, incorporating multiple wings for living quarters, administration, and reception areas.

Emperor Tiberius governed the Roman Empire from this clifftop palace between 27 AD and 37 AD, choosing it as his primary residence after leaving Rome.

The villa's architecture demonstrates Roman engineering excellence through its water collection system, featuring multiple cisterns that supplied fresh water to the entire complex.

Visitors need to walk two kilometers uphill from Capri town center to reach the site, which opens from 10:00 with varying closing times throughout different seasons.

The northern wing contains the emperor's private chambers, positioned specifically to provide direct views across the Gulf of Naples from 334 meters above sea level.
