Orvieto

Perched on a plateau of volcanic rock, Orvieto was once an island in the sea that covered the Paglia valley below. After the waters receded, Orvieto attracted ancient civilizations such as the Etruscans, who liked to build their cities on top of high, rocky places.

As an urban centre, Orvieto is an ancient place, even compared to other ancient places in Italy. Its history goes back many centuries before Roman times.  Today Orvieto is a fascinating hilltop city that attracts visitors from all over the world, who come to admire one of the finest duomos (cathedrals) in Italy, a gem of Gothic architecture, as well as the underground city and St. Patrick’s well.
