Orvieto's Sacred Sites

Orvieto’s religious landscape is centered on its 14th-century Romanesque-Gothic Cathedral, renowned for its mosaic facade and Renaissance frescoes. The city preserves significant medieval structures, including the 12th-century Sant’Andrea with its unique dodecagonal tower and the 13th-century San Domenico, which houses funeral monuments by Arnolfo di Cambio. These sites range from grand cathedrals to remote rock-cut hermitages, reflecting centuries of Umbrian architectural evolution and spiritual history.
