The majestic remains of a magnificent Roman villa dating back to the Imperial Age stand above the plateau which culminates in the so-called Mount Tiberius (350 m). The villa which bears the name of the most important of the Olympian divinities is the most representative of a consistent number of villas built on Capri during the Augustan-Tiberian eras.
A written tradition, quoted by Tiberius would attribute Augustus’ successor with the building of twelve imperial residences all dedicated to the Consenting Gods (Jupiter, Apollo, Neptune, Mars, Vulcan, Mercury, Juno, Minerva, Venus, Vesta, Ceres and Diana).
You’ll explore the ruins with Your archaeological guide and then back to the main square of Capri town.
