The church of Santa Maria Assunta features a dome
made of majolica tiles as well as a
thirteenth-century Byzantine icon of a black
Madonna. According to local legend, the icon had
been stolen from Byzantium and was being
transported by pirates across the Mediterranean.
A terrible storm had blown up in the waters
opposite Positano and the frightened sailors
heard a voice on board saying "Posa, posa!" ("Put
down! Put down!"). The precious icon was unloaded
and carried to the fishing village and the storm
abated.

The black Madonna

The tale goes on to describe the pirates being so
stricken with the wonder of the Black Madonna
speaking that they became Christians. The locals
of the area kept the painting and the town took
the name Positano after the words (posa, posa)
that were uttered from the artwork

The Grotta dello Smeraldo  has no natural outlet
above the waterline. The only opening to the
outside world is just below the water level.
Refracted sunlight entering the cavern through
the opening gives the water its characteristic
emerald glow during daylight hours.  It was
discovered by a fisherman named Luigi Buoncore in
1932.
