Must admit that the lure of entering this church was to escape the blistering mid-day sun in the charming town of Anacapri. What an unexpected delight it was to discover the spectacular ceramic tile floor! Do note that one doesn't actually walk on the floor, one must circumnavigate the chapel on an elevated walk to preserve the tiles. And indeed,... More

Inside, the main thing to view is the floor - which comprises of majolica (is that spelt right?) tiles that are hundreds of years old... More
