Villa Jovis
Villa Jovis is a Roman imperial villa complex on the island of Capri, built as a multi-level palace and service enclosure on a coastal promontory. The site consists of high perimeter walls, terraces and an arrangement of rectilinear rooms and courtyards. Today the complex survives as exposed masonry ruins that visitors can walk through and around.

As it stood in AD 27
What Villa Jovis looked like in its prime.
At its prime the complex presented continuous high perimeter walls of rubble masonry with horizontal bands of fired brick, a sequence of rectilinear rooms and narrow courtyards cut into the headland, and broad earthen terraces opening toward the sea. Surfaces are pale local stone and mortar, low partition walls defining service rooms, and sunlit open floors; the whole sits on a steep rocky slope with scrubby Mediterranean vegetation and distant views of the coastline.
