The  English  Forts  of  Capri

Latest page update: 12 February 2025
By: Dion Protani
​The English forts of Capri are remnants of the British occupation during the early 19th century.

The forts were constructed after the British navy captured the island in 1806 to defend it from potential French attacks. 

Today, these forts are open to visitors, who can explore their historical structures and enjoy the panoramic vistas. 

The English forts are a testament to Capri’s strategic importance during the Napoleonic Wars and a glimpse into the island's past.
