During the reign of Robert of Anjou, the Castle became a center of culture where artists, doctors and writers including Giotto, Petrarch and Boccaccio stayed. The Angevins were succeeded by the Aragonese with Alfonso I, who following the choice of his predecessors, fixed his royal residence in Castel Nuovo starting the reconstruction work and raising outside, between the Torre di Mezzo and that of Guardia, the grandiose Arc de Triomphe to celebrate his victorious entry into the city of Naples.
With the Aragonese we witness the transition from the medieval castle-palace to the fortress of the modern age, adapted to the new war needs and the area around the Castle loses the residential character it had with the Angevins. The structure of the Aragonese building is certainly more massive than the Angevin one and reflects quite faithfully the current one, resulting from the rehabilitation works of the early years of this century.

Capri is pure romance, dramatic views, the bluest ocean you’ve ever seen, even the scent of lemon blossoms in the air. The luminescent Blue Grotto, striking Faraglioni Rocks and the Palazzo al Mare are popular with travelers, but for a real treat, snorkel at Marina Piccola beach. It’s said to be the spot where Odysseus nearly succumbed to the Sirens’ song, a fitting legend for this alluring island.
The Blue Grotto(cave) is the most famous sight on Capri, but the long wait at the cave entrance means that many boat tours skip a stop here. With this tour, set sail first thing in the morning to beat the crowds and cut wait times to a minimum. After taking in the grotto, enjoy a boat tour around the island with stops to swim and free time to explore on land.
