Τα καλύτερα αξιοθέατα στο Ορβιέτο

Orvieto's Absolute Essentials

Orvieto sits on a volcanic tuff plateau, with a dense mix of Etruscan and medieval heritage. This selection starts with the Gothic facade of the Duomo and the Renaissance frescoes of the San Brizio Chapel, then goes underground to the Pozzo di San Patrizio and the man-made caves below the town. The Torre del Moro and the Palazzo del Capitano del Popolo mark the medieval centre, while the Faina and cathedral museums and the Crocifisso del Tufo necropolis show the city's Etruscan and artistic past.
