Positano seems to be standing, leaning against the jagged mountain rock face, with many multicoloured houses that seem to be built in a single cluster, all on top of each other.
The town is very unique and incredibly attractive, capable of attracting attention to many visitors. It is the kingdom of many flights of little steps, of narrow passageways enlivened and coloured by wonderful shops, lively bars and cafes, and restaurants that specialise in seafood.
However Positano preserves many artistic and archaeological treasures, for example, the ruins of a Roman villa, or the three defence towers that were built by the Viceroy of Spain - Peter from Toledo in the 16th century.
There are many versions of how Positano adopted its original name. However, the name “Positano” probably derived from Roman freedmen, the Posdii. Positano was really a Roman colony and a well-known holiday resort.
Many small semi-handicraft firms in clothing originated, and from there, Positano fashion (a typical and unique style) became famous.
