The city of Orvieto certainly deserves a visit for its cultural and artistic wealth. The Pozzo di San Patrizio is a masterpiece of Renaissance engineering, with a double helical spiral staircase that allowed going up and down without crossing each other.

Built between 1527 and 1535 by order of Pope Clement VII to defend the city from potential attackers after the dramatic experience of the sack of Rome, it was built by digging into the tuff of the plateau on which Orvieto stands, it is 54 meters deep and is a work of high hydraulic engineering. Worth a visit!
