capri isle

A highlight of the coast, it was one of the four independent naval republics and became an established seaside resort during Edwardian times. The Duomo, at the top of a steep flight of steps, utterly dominates the town's main piazza. It has a decorated, almost gaudy facade topped by a glazed tiled cupola,typical of the area. The bronze doors of the church came from Constantinople and date from 1066. Inside it's a mixture of Saracen and Romanesque styles. Almost next door to the Duomo, in the Municipio, you can view the Tavoliere Amalfitana, the book of maritime laws that governed the republic, and the rest of the Mediterranean, until 1570.
