Faraglioni Rocks

Description

Faraglioni Rocks presents the ancient limestone sentinels of Capri rising from the Tyrrhenian Sea, their massive forms sculpted by 180 million years of geological patience. The three monumental stacks – Stella at 364 feet, the arch-pierced Faraglione di Mezzo, and distant Scopolo – stand as majestic monuments off the Italian coast. Captured in August 1974, these weathered pillars dwarf any boats that dare approach their bases, their sheer cliff faces catching Mediterranean light like vertical cathedrals. The famous tunnel through the middle stack creates a perfect frame of cobalt water, a passage that has witnessed everything from Roman galleys to modern yachts threading through this oceanic gateway.
