I Faraglioni is a stunning natural rock formation located off the coast of the Italian island of Capri. These towering limestone stacks rise majestically from the crystal-clear waters of the Tyrrhenian Sea, creating a breathtaking sight that has captured the imagination of visitors for centuries.
The Faraglioni are composed of three distinct rock formations, each with its own unique shape and character. The first and largest of these is known as Faraglione di Terra, or "land stack," which stands over 100 meters tall and is connected to the island by a narrow strip of land. The second stack, Faraglione di Mezzo, or "middle stack," is slightly smaller and features a distinctive archway that has become an iconic symbol of Capri. The third and smallest stack, Faraglione di Fuori, or "outer stack," is separated from the others by a narrow channel and is home to a variety of seabirds and other marine life.
Visitors to Capri can admire the Faraglioni from a variety of vantage points, including from the island's many scenic overlooks, from the deck of a boat on a leisurely cruise around the island, or even from the water itself, by swimming or snorkeling in the clear blue sea. The Faraglioni are also a popular spot for rock climbing and other outdoor activities, and are home to a number of rare plant and animal species that make their homes among the rocky crags and crevices.
Whether viewed from afar or up close, the Faraglioni are a true natural wonder and a must-see destination for anyone visiting the beautiful island of Capri.
