Santa Teresa

Unusual Walks

A five-minute walk from the Piazzetta, walking under the portico of Via Madre Serafina, there is a staircase that leads you to the complex of Santa Teresa. It is composed by the Church of SS. Salvatore, built in 1666 according to the will of Mother Serafina di Dio, and from the convent of the Teresian sisters, whose presence gave the name to the place.

Although many of the old houses of the religious today are private homes, it is still possible to walk in the porch and breathe the history of this complex, which was the center of Capri in the seventeenth century.

Numerous donations have allowed the construction of these buildings and are remembered in the tombstones that you can find along the walls of the church and monastery.

In the Church, a wooden statue dedicated to SS. Salvatore, sculpted by Giacomo Colombo, in addition to a beautiful ceramic floor, currently covered to avoid the damage of Leonardo Chiaese, the master of the majolica floor of the Paradise Earth church of San Michele in Anacapri.
