アルボルノッツ要塞からの展望ポイント。

This part of the city is beautiful!! Take a walk there!

The complex, with its entrance on Via della Cava, lies beneath Orvieto's oldest neighborhood. Divided into nine underground areas, it is rich in Etruscan, medieval, and Renaissance finds, brought to light only recently after nearly four centuries of abandonment. The tour isn't very long (about 30 minutes if you read each description carefully), but it's absolutely worth it, especially for the price of just 4 euros.

A beautiful park located right next to St. Patrick's Well, offering a stunning view. Just before the entrance, on the right, there's also a beautiful War Memorial.

The beating heart of the city, Piazza della Repubblica is today the meeting place of Orvieto's residents. Once the site of public events and papal ceremonies, it houses the Church of Sant'Andrea and the Town Hall.

The medieval quarter of Orvieto, located on the western slope of the cliff, represents the oldest and most original part of the city. Characterized by narrow streets, tuff houses, and picturesque views, it includes the historic Via della Cava, an ancient access route to the city, with the Porta Maggiore and the remains of Etruscan walls. Here are also the Pozzo della Cava, the small church of the Madonna della Cava, and two imposing "fortress-churches": San Giovenale and San Giovanni Evangelista, built in strategic positions to control the territory. Panoramic routes such as the one along Ripa Medici or between the two churches offer evocative views of the medieval urban settlement.

The main gate and most important entrance to the city in Etruscan and medieval times. For a long time the gate remained the only major access road to Orvieto. Today, as in the past, Porta Maggiore is located at the end of the ancient Via della Cava (a road so called because in ancient times there was a quarry of tuff and pozzolana, materials used for the construction of many buildings in the city) and is a road still traveled, although no longer as an access, but as a one-way exit road. Historically, the gate was also often used as the main entry point for the arrival of the Popes in the city. Above the gate, a niche hosted the statue of Pope Boniface VIII.

Piazza della Repubblica is one of Orvieto's most famous city squares. Located at the western end of Corso Cavour, the historic square is home to a number of beautiful buildings. Visitors can walk west from Piazza della Repubblica along Corso Cavour to the far side of town. (c) https://orvieto.ca/attractions/piazza-della-repubblica.html
