Positano
A city with ancient origins, Positano is a typical tourist resort in southern Italy, famous for its beauty and warm weather reception of those who are lucky enough to live there. City that I promise myself for a long time to want to visit and that I finally managed to reach in this hot summer, just passed.
Here the warm colors typical of the south are intertwined and blend with the Moorish atmospheres and shades. The city is perched on a hill from which it admires its beautiful sea with a thousand and more shades.
Those who are lucky enough to visit it becomes almost the protagonist of a movie set, its colors, its sounds and its scents leave an indelible imprint in each of us. On the small streets of the city that go up and down the hill overlook pink buildings, from their balconies and gardens you can see beautiful bugainvillea plants, the sea. emerald on which the sun's rays reflect is the background to this scenario that enchants the visitor. So much so that Positano, like the entire Amalfi Coast, is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Symbol of the city is the church of Santa Maria Assunta with its dome decorated with green and yellow majolica, & ; egrave; considered one of the most enchanting church in the entire Italian peninsula. It is located in the small square Flavio Gioia, a square named so in honor of the homonymous inventor who first invented the compass in the West.
The remains of the towers symbolize the maritime importance of Positano: Torre Clavel, the Tower of Fornillo, known as & quot; Clavel”, dates back to the 13th century and is named after Gilbert Clavel, who bought it at the beginning of the 20th century. The structure has a pentagonal plan and has very special architectural elements. Thanks to its high position, you can enjoy a wonderful view over the whole area.
Trasita Tower, The Trasita Tower is one of the three towers built during the mid-16th century, on commission by Pietro da Toledo. It was a defensive system consisting of three watchtowers in the coastal area. The structure is still visible today, even if it does not maintain a perfect state of preservation.
