Itinerary
1
Centro Storico Orvieto
Orvieto is an old town located on a tufa outcrop 300 feet above the gorgeous Paglia valley below. The city is mostly known for its Duomo (Orvieto Catherdral) and is considered one of the most architecturally important in Europe, for its Etruscan roots, and for the museums where one finds collections and displays that range over 2,500 years of history. During this tour you will walk through Orvieto’s charming, narrow alleys, and small squares. Your tour will be a very memorable experience, perfect for reflecting over while you enjoy an Umbrian meal and a glass (or two) of Orvieto Classico wine (not included).

Chiesa di Sant'Andrea e Bartolomeo
The church has a Latin cross structure, divided into three naves with a transept and semicircular apse. The roofing of the naves is of wooden trusses, while the junction between the central body and the transept is covered by cross vaults supported by beam pillars. The perimeter walls are made of tuff, the floor of marble. Belonging to the church is the dodecagonal tower, which is very similar to the one in the Abbey of Saints Severus and Martyrius.
