Monte Solaro is a mountain on the island of Capri in Campania, Italy. With an elevation of 589 m, its peak is the highest point of Capri. [1]

Statue of Emperor Augustus

It contains the "Fortino di Bruto", a blockhouse which was used in battles between Britain and France in the early 19th century.[2] It is characterised by its "sheer dolomitic slopes" which form an "unsurpassable partition" between the eastern and western sides of the island.[3] Marina Grande lies at the foot of the mountain. It became popular with painters due to its "romantic situation, affording extensive and beautiful views to the NW of the Tyrrhenian sea, the gulf of Naples".[4][5] Up the mount there is a statue of Emperor Augustus who first landed on Capri.
