Capri Philosophical Park, Contemplative park in Anacapri, Italy.
Capri Philosophical Park is a retreat on Anacapri with three distinct walking routes through Mediterranean plants and shrubs. The pathways offer views toward the Faraglioni rock formations and the lighthouse at Punta Carena.
The park was founded in 2000 by the Swedish professor and author Gunnar Adler-Karlsson and his wife Marianne Ehrnford. It lies at the end of the Migliera path in Anacapri, where Mediterranean scrub grows along the trails.
The park holds small maiolica tiles inscribed with quotes from 60 Western philosophers, from the era of Delphi to the present day. A blue booklet titled Riflessioni sulla saggezza Occidentale, written by Gunnar Adler-Karlsson, guides visitors along the meditation route.
Reach the park by bus to Anacapri's final stop past Piazza Caprile, then walk to Belvedere di Migliara. The terrain is hilly and requires sturdy footwear and time to explore comfortably.
Each of the three routes follows a different philosophical theme: one focuses on Idealism, another on Realism, and the third on Wisdom. This structure allows visitors to explore different schools of thought while moving through the same landscape.
