It is on the north side of the [[Gulf of Naples]], [[Italy]]. The main town on the island shares the name. It has been a resort since the time of the [[Roman Republic]]. The Emperor [[Tiberius]] lived here from 26&ndash;31 AD. Features of the island are the Belvedere of Tragara (a high panoramic promenade lined with villas), the [[limestone]] crags called sea stacks that project above the sea (the ''Faraglioni''), the town of Anacapri, the Blue Grotto (''Grotta Azzurra''), and the ruins of the Imperial Roman [[villa]]s. Capri is part of the region of [[Campania]], [[Province of Naples]]. Most people on the island live in the town of Capri. The island has two harbours, Marina Piccola and Marina Grande (the main port of the island). The separate ''[[comune]]'' of Anacapri is high on the hills to the west. The etymology of the name 'Capri' is unclear.<ref>{{Cite book|first=Dana|last=Facaros|first2=Michael|last2=Pauls|title=Italy: Bay of Naples|url=https://archive.org/detail
