| Arco
Naturale

Taking
a pleasant stroll of 20 minutes, you can easily reach the Arco Naturale,
(The Natural Arch) and enjoy relaxed atmosphere of the place: after
leaving the little square, you walk down via Tiberio (Tiberio road) and
once reached the crossroads you just go straight up via Matermania (Matermania
road).
The
Natural Arch is one of the attractions offered by Capri: it is formed by
the remnants of a vault of a deep, hight and subterranean hollow. Then,
owing to the sliding down of the cliff, it came the surface and little
by little it was destroyed by the crumbling of the loose rock. An
impressive 12 meters large and 18 meters high is what remains of the
original vault after the steep slant which caused the landslide of the
front and of the middle part: it seems a natural bridge between two
rocky pillars. Behind it, three wonderful natural background are well
worthseeing for their overhanging cliffs and rocks, especially in a
sunny day.
