Chiesa di Santa Maria Assunta

Beatiful church and you can go inside for free..

It's the main church of Positano and the dome is instantly visible once you see the town. The story of Black Madonna is really interesting as well

The Church of Santa Maria Assunta, commonly known as the Positano Church, is a prominent landmark in the picturesque town of Positano, located on the Amalfi Coast in Italy.
The church's bell tower stands tall next to the main structure and adds to the church's visual appeal. It is often depicted in photographs and postcards showcasing Positano's beauty.
The main attraction within the church is the Byzantine icon of the Black Madonna, also known as the Madonna di Positano. The 13th-century wooden icon is believed to have been brought to Positano by sailors from the Byzantine Empire and is highly venerated by the locals.

Beautiful and welcoming. I had the fortune to attend mass on Pascua 2022 Really special! For some reason, the outside steps always smell like urine from what/who, I don’t know?

Beautiful Church in Positano which is very hard to miss! This is along your way whether your are heading to the beach or the sea side / waterfront restaurants. The beach can be viewed from the facade of the church and around the church are little shops.
Inside the church you will be amazed by the intricate designs and decorations.

Perfect location to vacation! The atmosphere is incredible. The food, the scenery, the people! Love to wander all the streets of this Amalfi Coast and visit these incredible cathedrals while discovering the history behind this region of Campania.

Magnificent tile domed roof adorns this church, where from it sits at the centre of this town, commanding a presence that can be noticed from almost any location, especially entering the harbour.

Beautiful church in the way of beach. The town ans the lanes are amazing.

Very nice to visit. Love the story of the black Madonna

Picture perfect church in the picture perfect town, in the picture perfect country. So many photo ops and the ceramics are so lively.

Very nice church, situated along the main walk way in Positano. Worth the walk and a nice place to hide from the sun.

Very beautiful village on the amazing Amalfi coast. The views are incredible.

Must visit when you’re in Positano. Beautiful, peaceful with so much art and music - Church of Santa Maria Assunta!

This temple is a main attraction in Positano. To get there you have to go down many stairs, it is near the beach. It has entrance fee but worth it. Take a look inside its beautiful, chill and quiet.

Gorgeous church with Black Madonna. Expect church to be partially roped off due to weddings on Saturday afternoons.

Good place in positano

You have to be here to understand its attraction. you just want to soak it all in.

Beautiful Church. Recommend visiting if in Positano. Wish they had real candles instead of electric ones. Most of the Church has electric candles, which don't look good apart from a small circle of candles at the back of the church.

It also has a coin machine, which gives you a Beautiful souvenir coin, for €2. It is located in the foyer.

A simply stunning church in an equally breathtaking location

So inspiring as we viewed from the hotel La Sineuse
