Certosa di San Giacomo
This 14th century charterhouse also acted as a barracks, a jail and a military hospital during the time of French occupation. Before that, the Carthusian monastery had been attacked frequently throughout its 700-year history, but still preserves several architectural details and historical items of interest, including the cloisters, the sacristy and a small museum containing Roman statues found on the floor of the Blue Grotto.

Villa Jovis (Palazzo di Tiberio)
Just east of Capri is the most well-preserved of the island's Roman villas. Built for Emperor Tiberius in the 1st century AD, the complex covers a wide area, and consists of imperial quarters, entertainment areas, grand halls and gardens. The Villa Jovis displays remants of what was once a giant Roman pleasure palace. Follow the stairway behind the villa, to the Salto di Tiberio, where Tiberius is said to have had his less-than-favourite subjects tossed to the sea.
