We attended Mass in this beautiful church. This church has many weddings and it was fun to see the beautiful Brides on their big day. You must visit when you are in Positano More

The church is not large and has behind the main altar the painting of the 'Black Madonna' - a Byzantine painting which was brought in the Middle Ages by ship, and finished here by chance.
