Orvieto Day Trip

Date from: Thursday, January 12, 2012

Date to: Friday, March 9, 2012

Located in Southwestern Umbria, the medieval town of Orvieto sits upon steep cliffs of volcanic tuff.
 It has a dramatic setting and the soil from the ancient volcano accounts for the famous regional white wine. The early Estruscans began digging into the rock and created shrines, passageways and wells that still exist today.
 
One of many towns of Etruscan origins in the countryside north of Rome, Orvieto is built on isolated rock, governing the valley of the Paglia River.


The town is most noted for its great gothic cathedral, the Duomo di Orvieto built in the 14th century and whose architecture incorporates its environment: blue volcanic basalt rock is woven into its architecture.
