About
Emperor Tiberius' glowing blue Nymphaeum.
Visiting the Grotta Azzurra on Capri, one has to lie in a rowboat and aim for the walls of the cave. Underneath the surface lies an opening not wider than forty fathoms in depth, and only accessible at low tide. Within its interior, a magical luminescence radiates from the waters like a mystic fire, illuminating every detail of the grotto's rocky arch. Sparkling droplets sprinkle through the air with each stroke from oarsman’s scull, settling over the watery expanse like freshly-plucked rose petals. This dreamlike world is a captivating glimpse into another realm, as light pierces through from outside and dances off seemingly ethereal walls.
