Home > SightseeingList > The Church of San Michele (San Michele)
The Church was built in Anacapri, Capri, Italy in 1719. It is octagonal in shape and of Baroque style. The church is famous for its majolica tiled pavement, realized by Leonardo Chiaiese. Depicting the Expulsion from Eden, the artwork offers a poignant interpretation of Adam and Eve's despair and an almost surreal vision of a brightly colorful earthly paradise inhabited by many fantastical creatures. Visitors can view the pavement from a raised platform. During religious services, the artwork is protected beneath carpeting.
