Positano



Positano Center of southern Italy, one of the most famous localities of the Amalfi Coast, in the province of Salerno; It is located along the southern coast of the Sorrento peninsula, on the southern slopes of the Lattari mountains, and overlooks the Gulf of Salerno. Of ancient origins, it was founded by the inhabitants of Paestum, fleeing from the city besieged by the Saracens, and specialized in maritime activities, so as to threaten the priority role of the maritime republic of Amalfi in this area. One of the most appreciated locations on the Amalfi coast by an elite tourism, present throughout the year, placed in a spectacular position on the rocky slopes that descend to the sea, Positano has many attractions, both naturalistic and historical-artistic. The main monument is the parish church of Santa Maria Assunta, dominated by an eighteenth-century majolica dome. Among the caves that enliven the coast of Campania near Positano, we note that called La Porta, where findings were found dating back to the Palaeolithic and Mesolithic. Inhabitants (Positanesi):
