Torre dell’Orologio

The Clock Tower of Capri is the unmistakable landmark that lets you know you are in Capri. The structure dates back to the 17th century. Unlike most clock towers, it stands detached from the church, Chiesa di Santo Stefano, which is on the other side of the square.

The clock features 144 colorful ceramic tiles in shades of blue, yellow and black. The bells chime every 15 minutes, but on the hour they ring once for each hour of the day. At noon it strikes 12 times for the hour, followed by the Angelus Prayer, a longer chime of the bells.
