Church of St. Luke

The church of San Gennaro was built in the 16th century on the remains of a previous church of the same name. The interior, in the shape of a Latin cross with three naves, is decorated with a series of altars, among which the nineteenth-century Chapel of the Sacred Heart, by Domenico Rispoli-Zingone, in the right nave, the Carmine altar with the table of the Madonna of Carmel, and the altar of the Crucifix, in the left nave.

The Church of Santa Maria Assunta was founded in the 10th century and is linked to the Byzantine icon of the Black Madonna with Child, which is said to have arrived in Positano in the 12th century thanks to some Benedictine monks. The church was renovated between 1777 and 1782 and is divided into three naves with five arches and several side chapels. A few steps away from the church stands the bell tower, built in 1707.

The cathedral of Amalfi is composed of two churches: the first one was founded in the 9th century, and in 987, another church was built right next to the cathedral. Soon the two churches, both with three naves, were joined together and thus formed a single Romanesque church with six naves. In the period following the Counter-Reformation, the two buildings became separate again and the older one became the Basilica of the Crucifix, leaving the title of caricature to the building of 987. Other interventions took place between the 16th and 18th centuries. The present façade was built in the 19th century by Errico Alvino assisted by a group of architects. The bell tower of St Andrew's Cathedral was built between 1108 and 1276.
