Montepertuso (Positano)

Description

Montepertuso (which literary means "hole in the mountain") is a hamlet of the town of Positano, located on a hill in the upper part of the town. It is the ideal place for trekking lovers, thanks to several suggestive paths which connect the hamlet of Montepertuso to the Lattari Mountains.
According to the legend, this was the place of the legendary battle between the Virgin Mary and the Devil, traces of which can still be seen in the rock of the Gambera Mount (510m): the shape of the snake and the suggestive hole in the mountain made by the finger index of the Virgin.
Do not miss to visit the church of Santa Maria delle Grazie and the Fontana Vecchia (Old Fountain), restored in 1973 and still popular, thanks to the clearness of its microbiologically pure water.
