Arco Naturale, Natural limestone arch on the eastern coast of Capri, Italy
The Natural Arch spans 12 meters in width and rises 18 meters high, forming a substantial stone bridge between two rock formations on the cliff edge.
The limestone formation emerged during the Paleolithic period through the gradual erosion of a larger cave system that once existed in this location.
The Natural Arch stands near the Grotto di Matermania, where ancient Romans performed ceremonies dedicated to the goddess Cibele and the deity Mithras.
Visitors need to follow two different walking paths to reach the arch: one starting from Capri's main square, another along the southeastern coastal route.
The Natural Arch presents views of the Sorrento Peninsula and multiple small islands from its position high above the Mediterranean Sea.
