Church description

The Collegiata of Santa Maria Assunta dates back to the thirteenth century. Formerly of a single nave with a prestigious floor decorated with Byzantine mosaics. On the main altar you can admire the beautiful icon of the Black Virgin with child. The legend tells that this icon arrived to Positano from the sea. The floor of the church, eighteenth century, was probably created by the Neapolitan School of Chiajese, the same artists that worked on the Santa Chiara cloister in Naples.
