Historic Monuments and Castles

Orvieto's architecture is shaped by its tuff cliff and a dense collection of medieval and Renaissance buildings. This list highlights the city's civic power through the Palazzo del Capitano del Popolo and the Palazzo dei Sette, alongside castles such as Castello di Prodo in the hills around the town. The sites range from Etruscan painted tombs at the Tombe Golini to the Renaissance facades of Palazzo Gualterio and Palazzo Comunale.
