Chiesa di Santo Stefano

Chiesa di Santo Stefano stands beside Piazza Umberto I, the central square known as the Piazzetta, in Capri, Italy. You see a Catholic church that serves as the town’s principal place of worship.

Built in the seventeenth century, it once served as Capri’s cathedral and the seat of its bishop. The church formed part of a larger religious complex, while the adjoining archbishop’s palace now houses the town hall. Alongside Chiesa di San Costanzo, it ranks among the island’s two oldest churches.

Saint Stephen, regarded as the first Christian martyr, gives the church its dedication. Around it, the Piazzetta remains a meeting place where religious history and civic life share the same setting.
