Monte Tiberio

Villa Jovis - one of the twelve villas of the Emperor Tiberius built on Capri. It was located on the top of Monte Tiberio, which rises 354 meters above sea level. Judging from the ruined ruins, it was the richest and most likely the main residence of the emperor on the island. At its central part, four huge water tanks, covered by a cradle vault, were placed. Considering the distance and height of the villa, it was very important to collect and collect all the rain. Water was essential for proper functioning of all traditional building elements (term, fountain and garden irrigation).

The rooms for the emperor were placed in the eastern and northern parts. The throne room was connected by corridors with private rooms, from which the Gulf of Naples was visible. From the hall where the feast is held, a small corridor leads to a cliff called Salto di Tiberio (on the side of the slope from the sea side is a large hole in the hillside), reportedly dispossessed by the emperor, throwing them from the place to the sea. / p>

The baths were located in the southern part of the building. Despite the small area, there are all rooms that meet typical Roman term functions. There are locker rooms, frigidarium and hot bath (caldarium), tepidarium, water heater and hypocaustum.

Today, the church of Santa Maria del Soccorso, built in the 18th century, is located in the private apartments of the imperial family.
