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.
