Faraglioni, Natural rock formations near Capri, Italy.
Three limestone stacks emerge from the Mediterranean Sea along the southern coast of Capri, reaching heights of approximately 100 meters above water level.
Ancient Roman sailors used these distinct rock formations as navigation markers when approaching the island of Capri during maritime expeditions.
The three sea stacks carry specific names: Stella remains connected to land, Faraglione di Mezzo stands in the middle, and Scopolo extends into the sea.
Visitors can view the formations from several locations including the Gardens of Augustus, Punta Tragara viewpoint, or during boat tours around the island.
The Faraglione di Fuori hosts a population of blue lizards, Podarcis sicula coerulea, which adapted their color to match the surrounding environment.
