Piazzetta Cerio is the square just behind Piazza Umberto I: it hosts the Centro Caprense Ignazio Cerio with its natural history collections and faces the steps of the Santo Stefano church.
Where it is and how to get there
From the Piazzetta take the steps towards Santo Stefano and in under a minute you are in Piazzetta Cerio, house number 6 included. From Marina Grande harbour the funicular brings you up; from Anacapri, the local bus to Capri town.
What to see around it
The Centro Caprense Ignazio Cerio holds fossils, artefacts and a library devoted to the island. Santo Stefano church dominates the steps; a few paces away Via Vittorio Emanuele begins, climbing towards the Certosa di San Giacomo and the Gardens of Augustus.
Why stop here
The square has the Piazzetta's exposure without its constant traffic. At Piazzetta Cerio 6 you find Spirito di Capri, an art bar and bistrot open from 11am to 2am and closed on Tuesdays: aperitivo, lunch, dinner and music nights at one address.
