Villa Jovis

Villa Jovis ("Villa of Jupiter") is a Roman palace on Capri, southern Italy, built by Emperor Tiberius and completed in 27 AD [1]. Tiberius ruled primarily from this residence until his death in 37 AD, making it the imperial seat of power for the final decade of his reign [1]. Archaeological excavations have revealed that Villa Jovis was the largest of the twelve villas attributed to Tiberius on Capri, as mentioned by the Roman historian Tacitus [1]. The complex originally featured extensive terraces, baths, and residential quarters spread across multiple levels, though much of the structure has been lost to time and landslides [1].
