The two cemeteries of the island of Capri are located at the foot of the rock face of the Monte Solaro on the Northern coast, at approximately 130 meters above sea level. They were both built after 1870, one close to the other. Their environmental quality, the univocity of the site where they stand, and the mutual merging of their historical-monumental values define the whole set as a unique maritime graveyard.
In the non-Catholic burial ground the Anglo-Saxon spirit is embodied by a garden seen as a special place for taking a rest and meditate, where lush greenery and simple graves

complete one another while looking onto the surrounding landscape. People from twenty-one countries are buried here and they are remembered by several marble items, such as memorial stones, small obelisks, sarcophagi with crosses laid on them, steles and niches opening onto the sea. Many tombstones become reading stones engraved with epitaphs and moral aphorisms.
The Catholic cemetery is instead dominated by built-up items and the Christian cult of a final home for the dead translates into a memorial architecture following the trend of typical Caprese settlements.
