Viterbo lived its period of major splendor and power in the 13th century when it was chosen as the seat of the papacy instead of Rome, where powerful warring families made life too dangerous. Eight different popes lived in Viterbo making it is similar to Vatican City and Avignon in France. The longest papal conclave in history happened here from 1 December 1268 to 1 September 1271. Following Pope Clement IV's death, infighting between cardinals and political pressure led to a 34-month deadlock. The cardinals were locked up cum clave (hence the word conclave) inside the palace’s large Conclave Hall. In desperation the town’s population, who were feeding them and their entourages, eventually reduced the cardinals’ food and wine supplies, trying to speed up the election. Time wore on and they finally decided to remove the roof of the palace: in order to help the Holy Spirit come down and illuminate them, it was quipped. That worked.

Starting point for the Silent Villages Trail! A beautiful route both on foot and by bike.

pleasant road, little traffic.

The church of San Domenico is located a few meters from Piazza del Popolo and Corso Cavour in the Teatro Mancinelli area (which can be quickly accessed via Via Felice Cavallotti). Of the original convent complex (one of the first churches built by the Dominican order), today only an intact part remains and there is no longer any trace of the ancient cloister that was probably located in front of the current Gothic facade of this church. In fact, a large part of the building and the entire religious complex was demolished in the fascist era to make room for the construction of the Women's Military Academy (one of the first in Italy). Inside the church, however, a work of great value is still preserved today, created in 1285 by Arnolfo di Cambio: the funerary monument to Cardinal de Braye, for which "pieces" of an ancient Roman sarcophagus were also used, such as the "statue of the Madonna". Another highlight inside the church is the Petrucci Chapel, which features the only existing example in the city of a 16th-century majolica terracotta floor. In front of the Church of San Domenico, there is also a small children's playground and a very central car park. (c) https://www.orvietoviva.com/chiesa-di-san-domenico-orvieto/
