Live a day in the enchanting Umbrian city between the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, the art and the history. The guide illustrates the splendid Orvieto, perched on a tuff cliff that has protected the city for millennia. There are many places not to be missed, from the imposing Duomo, a jewel of the Italian Gothic, to the medieval and Renaissance palaces, that house interesting museums, rich in Etruscan and Greek finds, to the numerous churches, symbol of the importance of the city throughout history. Its famous St. Patrick Well and the suggestive "Underground City" are also witnesses of an ancient past that attract thousands of tourists every year. A complete and useful guide to discover the history of the city and its culture, full of festivals and traditions.
