Visite turistiche
Positano is not a city that you see, but one that you live. This is because the places of interest are very few, but one can equally enjoy the visit by slowing down the pace and watching the incessant coming and going of people who animate it during the day.
The main site is undoubtedly the Church of Santa Maria Assunta which is very famous above all for its dome covered with colored majolica, and on which legends are told about its history.
All positano ha a small town that is vertically developed overlooking the sea giving it a postcard look and moreover one must not forget to explore the streets of the center, very characteristic made of very narrow and suggestive alleys. Here the shops full of colored ceramics, of clothes full of colors that have marked an era and handmade sandals open the doors to tourists and travelers and thanks to them you can experience the true essence of Positano.
You will be thrilled with what your eyes will see.

The Path of the Gods An adventurous journey, an excursion that will bring you to be true Indiana Jones giving your eyes breathtaking views immersed in a nature that has remained intact for centuries. The Path of the Gods connects Agerola, a village on the hills of the Amalfi Coast, to Nocelle, a fraction of Positano perched on the slopes of Mount Pertuso. The name suffices to make sense of the spectacular nature of the path: follow it in the direction that goes from Agerola to Nocelle so as to walk slightly downhill and have a view of the Amalfi Coast and Capri in front.

San Gregorio Armeno: History and legends of the street of cribs
The presence of craftsmen in San Gregorio Armeno street, the Neapolitan street of cribs, was due to the existence, during the centuries, of the Roman empire. Especially that of an ancient temple devoted to the goddess Cerere to which the citizens used to offer, as an ex-voto, small terracotta statues that were made in the shops of the area
Via San Gregorio Armeno, in the historical center of Naples, is for everyone the “street of cribs”. It is one of the most famous places in the world, and every year, the destination of thousands of tourists abducted by the timeless charm of the shops of master craftsmen of crib art.
The street takes its name from the religious complex dedicated to San Gregorio Armeno: an authentic jewel of Neapolitan Baroque architecture, which includes the church (inside of which stands the coffered ceiling, made in 1580 by the painter Teodoro d’Errico), the convent with its extraordinary cloister, considered among the most beautiful of all the city, where, among the fragrant citrus trees, stands a large marble fountain with the eighteenth-century statues of Christ and the Good Samaritan.
Also known as Via San Liguoro, the ancient street is of Greek origins, like the entire cross-section surrounding it: winding alleyways intersecting at right angles, as per the plan designed by the architect Hippodamo from Mileto and then exported to the colonies of Magna Grecia. It is no coincidence that it perpendicularly connects the two main Decumans: the largest one (the current via dei Tribunali) and the lower one (the modern Spaccanapoli).
During the fifteenth century, the alley that extends to the former agora (near San Gaetano Square), took the name of Strada Nostriana from the name of the then bishop of Naples, Nostriano, who here raised the the first hospital for the sick and poor. The building was only later t identified by the name of the Bishop of Armenia, to whom, since 1205, a small church was dedicated, founded by a group of Basilian nuns

Chiesa di San Gregorio Armeno
According to legend, this building, now known as San Gregorio Armeno (or San Biagio Maggiore), was built in 930, on the site of a church erected by Sant’Elena, Emperor Constantine’s mother, on the ruins of a pagan temple devoted to the goddess Ceres. But it is much more likely that they were the nuns of San Basilio, (eighth century), founded the monastery that in 1009 was joined by a flyover, to that of San Pantaleone and San Sebastiano.
It is said that the Sisters had come to Naples led or inspired by Saint Patrizia of Constantinople, escaping from the oriental iconoclast, carrying with them the remains of St. Gregory the Illuminator, Patriarch of Armenia (257-331). They founded a first monastery after landing on the island of Megaride (Castel dell’Ovo). After the death of their founder and by the will of the Byzantine duke Stefano, the nuns took her body in procession through the streets of the city. At one point the two white heifers pulling the funeral wagon suddenly stopped: the event was considered to be the led by the will of the virgin Patrizia. Hence the decision to move the monastery to its present place.
The structure, over the centuries, has been restored several times. In particular since 1572, after the Council of Trent. And just on the overpass joining the two sides of the road, following the numerous restorations, the bell tower was built. Today this bell tower represents one of the most characteristic sights of the Old Center of Naples.
The Sisters could not know, however, that one day many centuries later, their saint who had literally “pushed” them along the Nostraan Road and to whom they were so devoted, would be worshiped in their own convent. Initially buried in the ancient monastery of Saints Nicandro and Marciano, in 1864, the remains of the noblewoman of Constantinople (sanctified in 1625) were transferred to San Gregorio Armeno and, since 1922, have been entrusted to the custody of the Crouching Adorers of the Eucharist.
Santa Patrizia (Saint Patricia), co-patron of Naples, is the protector of young maids seeking a husband, sailors, parturients and the needy. Her cult is linked to the prodigal of blood liquefaction, similar to that of Saint Gennaro. This is said to have taken place over the years in different ways and times. But according to tradition, it takes place every Tuesday and on the feast day of St. Patrizia, on August, 25.
