Introduzione

Punta Carena is situated on the far south-west of the island of Capri, on the Limmo peninsula, the name of which derives from the latin limen meaning boundary. The jagged rocks overhanging the sea, the luxuriant Mediterranean vegetation and the lighthouse itself make Carena Point one of the most beautiful spots on the island. Behind Carena point looms the precipice of the Migliora, lined with defense walls built by the British at the start of the eighteen hundreds in order to protect Capri from invasion. The sea bed around Punta Carena descends extremely rapidly and at just half a kilometer from the coast already registers a depth of circa 600 meters.

In summer a number of bathing establishments open here, all built on comfortable terraces, with iron steps providing access to the waters. Punta Carena has become a highly fashionable place; the ideal setting where to enjoy a day by the sea or where to pass an evening, with the resort staying open until late, often with live musical entertainment.

History

The Punta Carena Lighthouse is approximately a hundred and fifty years old, built in 1866 it stands on the rocky promontory named Punta Carena (Carena =keel because it looks like the keel of a ship). The lighthouse, an octagonal tower, is among the most important in the Tyrrhenian sea, and second only to that of Genoa as far as lighting capacity is concerned.
