Capri (Italian pronunciation C?pri, usual English pronunciation Capr?) is an Italian island off the Sorrentine Peninsula, on the south side of the Gulf of Naples, that has been a celebrated beauty spot and resort since the time of the Roman Republic.

Above all are the ruins of the Imperial Roman villas.
