Faraglioni, the three rocks of Capri postcard

faraglioni-capri

One of the typical postcards of the beautiful Italian island of Capri are the stacks, a set of three huge rocks that remain in the waters near the coast and that are nothing other than the survivors of the erosion of the coast itself by the sea and the climate over the centuries.

Each of these gigantic rocks has been given a name: the first is the one that is still attached to the island and is called Stella, the second is separated from the first by a tongue of water and is called Faraglione di Mezzo, and the third is called Faraglioni di Fuori or Scopolo, something like a promontory in the sea.

This group of rocks is the habitat of the famous blue-plumaged birds and the only place where they can be found. The rocks measure an average of 100 meters high and the rock in the middle has a particular cavity, a natural tunnel, which has become one of the most famous passages in the world since Roman times, true fans of the island of Capri.
