The next stop on your itinerary is Villa Jovis, located at the top of  Monte Tiberio.

This villa, built by the Roman Emperor Tiberius in the 1st century a.C., is one of the twelve imperial villas of Capri and represents a fascinating testament to Roman architecture. Villa Jovis was a sumptuous residence, equipped with baths, cisterns, and gardens, offering an exceptional panoramic view of the island and the Gulf of Naples.

Today, the ruins of Villa Jovis allow you to take a journey back in time, discovering how Emperor Tiberius lived during his voluntary exile in Capri. Exploring the remains of this villa will give you an idea of the ingenuity and wealth of Roman architecture. The climb up to the villa is rewarded by a breathtaking view that stretches from Vesuvius to the surrounding islands.

The location of Villa Jovis was not chosen randomly: Tiberius selected this position for its beauty and the security it provided. The villa was one of the emperor's favorite residences, where he spent long periods away from Rome, governing the empire from the heights of his island abode. The ruins still include water cisterns, baths, and rooms that testify to the grandeur and sophistication of imperial life.

Walking among the ruins of Villa Jovis is like diving into history, allowing you to imagine court life and the crucial decisions that were made in this remote yet strategic corner of the Roman Empire. The panoramic view enjoyed from here is one of the most spectacular on the island, making the visit an unforgettable experience.
