The highest point on the island of Capri, Monte Solaro is topped with two significant structures. A statue of Emperor Augustus, the man who first landed on the Capri, depicts a very muscular emperor and is affixed to the side of the mountaintop. The Fortino di Bruto was used as a blockhouse in battles between France and Britain in the 19th century. To reach the summit, use either the Passetiello nature trail or the path that begins at Axel Munthe. Plan to wear lightweight clothing and sturdy walking shoes. Take a look at our Anacapri tour planner to schedule your visit to Monte Solaro and learn about what else to see and do during your holiday.

For the best views on the island, take the chair lift from Anacapri to Mt. Solaro. At first the chairlift might be a little scary. But, it is one of the my favourite memories from my trip to Italy. An... more »

While on Capri, we decided to take the chairlift up to the top of Mount Solaro. So glad we did! The ride by taxi up the windy mountain road was quick and well worth the extra money as opposed to waiti... more »
