Humans lived in Positano since the Stone Age. Legend says Poseidon made it for his nymph, Pasitea. Roman elites built posh villas here in the first century BC. One was where Santa Maria Assunta church is now. In medieval times, Positano was part of the mighty Amalfi Republic. It boomed in the 16th and 17th centuries as a key trading port. Then came tough times. Normans and pirates attacked. The town built towers for defense.
