Caprera & Garibaldi Compendium
Compendio Garibaldino
A pine-covered island where Garibaldi, hero of Italian unification, spent his later years; his house museum and tomb are well preserved, and the island has several secluded bays.
Caprera Island is connected to La Maddalena Island by a causeway. Garibaldi settled here from 1856 until his death in 1882. The 'White House' displays his red shirt, his bed and his farm tools, and his tomb is near the courtyard. Tickets cost about €7–10. The museum is often closed on Mondays, and advance booking is required in peak season. Pine-forest trails lead to bays such as Cala Coticcio. The island is part of a national park, so please do not pick plants.
