Roman origin, was founded by people from Paestum, who founded shelter in these three little valleys.  It has followed the same destiny of the Amalfi Republic; it was the place of the Naval Academy too. During the XVI and XVII century, it became rich thanks to his trade.

To visit…

The Church of Santa Maria Assunta built in  the XIII century, which his dome is completely in majolica. We can see, on the major altar, a Byzantine icon of the Black Madonna with a child, which legend say that came  to Positano, on the wave of the sea.

A good idea is to visit, by boat, the isles of  “li Galli”, too.

 We can see, on the seaside, some towers, used for defensive purpose,against the pirates assaults, like the "Torre Trasita" and "Torre Sponda".

    Positano is...  

""Fashion""

Positano is  synonymous of  summer fashion. Its boutiques made every summer, thousands of dresses in cotton, silk, linen.

The fantasy and the geniality of their creations, which colours are very simple like the green emerald, the white and the yellow, always suggest the summer fashion.
