Monuments and Museum

In Anacapri, walking along via Giuseppe Orlandi, it is impossible not to notice a red Pompeian building with an eclectic style, called the Red House.

Built in 1876 by the American Southern Colonel John Clay MacKowen, it encloses a set of styles and architectures, from those medieval that make it similar to a fortress (like the Aragonese Tower) close, to the Middle Eastern ones.

Born to collect and collect archaeological finds found on the island is now heritage of all and can be visited in its uniqueness.

The inscription printed on the portal, “Kaire or Polita Apragopoleos” [Salve, o cittadino, della città del dolce far niente]

It makes us understand that in Capri you can live the creative idleness where to find your joy of living.

Inside the Red House you can visit a beautiful collection of paintings from the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries and the four statues of sea gods found by divers in 1966 in the Blue Grotto.
