Anacapri is Capri’s second town. Anacapri has no natural harbour of its own, the town was always dependent on supplies from Marina Grande, which had to be carried up the steep rock-hewn staircase of the Scala Fenicia until 1874, when a road was finally built. But Anacapri was always the more rural of the two centres - a vocation underlined by the famous 18th-century maiolica floor in the church of San Michele (Nov-Mar 10am-3pm, Apr-Oct 9am-7pm), with its professional interest in the fauna of Eden.
