The visit to the city must absolutely include the historic center where it is possible to visit an entire underground world, a path that takes the visitor back to 3000 years ago, when the locals carried out the great work by digging tunnels and caves to create a refuge designed for the war periods. Another unmissable place if you visit Orvieto is the well of San Patrizio, designed in 1527 at the request of Pope Clement VII, the idea of the project was to always be able to supply water to the city even in periods of siege. Today the work can be visited in its entirety, through the stairways that were once dedicated to those who transported water. And for lovers of Gothic art or ecclesiastical buildings, the city offers its famous cathedral covered with sculptures and mosaics which is a true historical-artistic pearl. In short, the magic of Orvieto is to give us a journey between different eras and modernity.
