Marina Grande, Capri

Before 1928, docking took place directly in the bay, but it has since been developed into a port and seaside resort with a notable beach, which is the largest on the island.

[7][8] A small square overlooks the port surrounded by "the characteristic houses of Capri, rendered typical by the terraces, the balconies, the open galleries and the multi-coloured facades of the town, brightened by the "Pompeian red", which is one of the most intense notes of colour along the whole Neapolitan coast.

A Corinthian capital lies on a high pedestal at the end of the western wharf, testament to the Roman presence in the area.

[9] Funicolar, the cableway which is run by SIPPIC,[10] connects the harbour to the city centre's Piazzetta;[11] as does bus with Anacapri.

An annual festival in honour of the Madonna della Libera is held on the Marina Grande in the middle of September.
