カステルヴィスカルドのおすすめランニングルート

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.

Orvieto is an enchanting city in southern Umbria, Italy, situated on a plateau of volcanic tuff. Inhabited since Etruscan times, this historic city offers stunning views of vineyards and the surrounding countryside. The city is known for its impressive Duomo, a Gothic cathedral with colorful frescoes and a magnificent façade.

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!
