Orvieto Cathedral

The cathedral of Orvieto represents one of the most important monuments of the late Italian Middle Ages and constitutes a unique example for the time in stylistic and architectural terms. This is due to the fact that the construction of this church required the intervention of various workers over the course of two and a half centuries. The construction of this work began in 1290 at the behest of Pope Nicholas IV and continued until the end of the 1500s with the completion of the four spiers of the facade by the architect and sculptor Ippolito Scalza.

Construction of the cathedral began around 1288 by Arnolfo di Cambio. In 1308 the shell of the building was finished without a roof or façade.
