Santa Maria Assunta, Medieval church in Positano, Italy.
The Santa Maria Assunta church features a dome adorned with yellow and green majolica tiles visible from multiple vantage points in the town.
Built in the 10th century as a Benedictine monastery, the church underwent substantial restoration work between 1777 and 1782 under local clergy supervision.
The wooden statue of the Virgin Mary from the 13th century remains a central religious artifact, drawing faithful visitors throughout the year.
The church opens daily from morning to evening, with guided tours available in multiple languages to explain its architectural and historical elements.
A medieval bell tower, constructed in 1707 by a Capuchin friar, contains an ancient bas-relief and stands as a navigation landmark for boats.
