"The Charterhouse of S.Giacomo" was built in 1371-74 under the initiative of Count Giacomo Arcucci of Capri, Secretary to Jeanne, Queen of Naples, it was devastated in 1553 by the Saracens. In 1563, the resident Carthusian monks built a fortified tower. According to a local legend, when it collapsed in 1808 the ruins blocked the entrance to a cave below, known as the Grotta Oscura. In 1807 the Charterhouse was used as a barrack, and then, in 1815, as a jail. Later, it became a rest home, and in 1860 a military hospital. Partially restored in 1924, it is currently the site of the Municipal Library and the Preparatory School, and holds temporary exhibitions. Inside there is also a museum with large canvases by German painter Wilhelm Diefenbach. One room has large statues from the Roman age, found covered with limestone incrustations in the Grotta Azzurra in 1964. The Charterhouse is the most important representation of Capri's architecture, especially in its oldest parts where the roof is made of vaults typical of popular architecture in the Gulf of Naples. |
