San Michele della Croce

Moving away from the Piazzetta and along the road that leads to Villa Jovis, you can admire a small church, protected by a wall and the garden flora, called San Michele Church. It takes its name from the proximity to a cave, always dedicated to the cult of San Michele Arcangelo, once used as a refuge during the Saracen raids.

Immersed in one of the most romantic gardens of Capri, the building was built in the 12th century. The Architectural Structure Makes Immediately Intuit A Succession Of Construction Epochs.

In 1806, in fact, during the English occupation, the church became a gunpowder depot, due to its proximity to a “fort” built in the hills.
