Chiesa di San Michele Arcangelo, Baroque church in Anacapri, Italy.

The Chiesa di San Michele Arcangelo features an octagonal layout with detailed decorations, marble altars, and elaborate stucco work throughout its interior structure.

The church construction began in 1698 under architect Domenico Antonio Vaccaro and served as a military storage facility during French-English conflicts from 1806 to 1808.

The central floor displays a large majolica tile mosaic depicting the Garden of Eden story, representing traditional religious artistry of the region.

The church opens daily to visitors who can view the floor mosaic from an elevated wooden walkway that circles the perimeter of the main hall.

Seven interior chapels contain colored majolica tile floors, each symbolizing different gifts of the Holy Spirit within the octagonal church structure.
