It is part of the constituency of Campania, Province of Naples. The city is the island’s main population centre. The island has two harbours, Marina Grande and Marina Piccola. The separate of Anacapri is located high on the hills to the west.

It is believed in the recent past French troops under Napoleon occupied the island in January 1806.
