A Complete Guide to Orvieto:

Orvieto Underground

Beneath the charming streets of Orvieto lies a hidden city carved into the rock—a labyrinth of over 1,200 ancient grottoes, tunnels, and wells. Discovered by local speleologists in the 1980s, this underground world reveals centuries of history, from Etruscan wells to medieval olive presses. Guided tours depart daily from Piazza Duomo, offering an unforgettable glimpse into the city's past.

Duomo di Orvieto

The crown jewel of Orvieto, this stunning Gothic cathedral—known as the Duomo— is known for its striking façade of mosaics and sculptures, as well as its striped marble interior. Inside, visit the Chapel of San Brizio to see vivid frescoes of the Last Judgment and explore centuries of art and history in one of Italy’s most impressive cathedrals.
