オルヴィエートのおすすめランニングルート

The bridge connects Orvieto Scalo to the Rupe trail, where you can take a circular walk around the slopes of the cliff where Orvieto's historic center is located. The bridge is also beautifully lit at night.

If you come to Umbria, you can't miss this beautiful city. Among the main attractions, I recommend: the Duomo, St. Patrick's Well, Orvieto Underground, the Pozzo della Cava, and finally the Etruscan Museum. The "e" in Orvieto is pronounced open like "ferro" (iron), not closed.

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.

City with a lot of history and culture absolutely worth visiting - and it is better if you are very hungry - there are many restaurants with excellent dishes

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!
