The island is characterized by its rugged limestone landscape, sea stacks ([[Faraglioni]]), coastal grottoes including the renowned [[Blue Grotto (Capri)|Blue Grotto]], and high cliffs overlooking the sea. Notable features include the harbours of [[Marina Grande, Capri|Marina Grande]] and [[Marina Piccola]], the panoramic Belvedere of Tragara, the ruins of Roman imperial villas such as [[Villa Jovis]], and the towns of [[Capri (town)|Capri]] and [[Anacapri]], the latter situated higher up the slopes of [[Monte Solaro]], the island's highest point. Administratively, Capri is part of the [[Metropolitan City of Naples]] within the Campania region. The island is divided into two municipalities (''[[comune|comuni]]''): Capri and Anacapri.
