Villa Jovis, Capri Overview

Villa Jovis, located on the eastern cliffs of Capri, is a Roman villa built in the 1st century AD as Emperor Tiberius’ main residence during his reign. The sprawling ruins include cisterns, thermal baths, and terraces that reflect its grandeur, while its elevated position offers stunning views of the Bay of Naples and the Tyrrhenian Sea. Accessible only by foot, it provides a glimpse into the life of one of Rome’s most enigmatic emperors.

Built by the Roman Emperor Tiberius in the 1st century AD, this historic villa served as his secluded retreat. Its strategic hilltop location allowed Tiberius to govern the Roman Empire from a distance, earning it the moniker "Villa of Jupiter" (Villa Jovis). Begin by exploring the well-preserved ruins, witnessing the imperial chambers and panoramic terraces. It's advisable to wear comfortable shoes for navigating the uneven terrain. To avoid crowds, mornings are the ideal time to visit.
