Pozzo della Cava from Via Malabranca, Orvieto

A visit to Orvieto in Umbria, Italy.

Orvieto (Italian: [orˈvjɛːto]) is a city and comune in the Province of Terni, southwestern Umbria, Italy, situated on the flat summit of a large butte of volcanic tuff. The city rises dramatically above the almost-vertical faces of tuff cliffs that are completed by defensive walls built of the same stone.

From Via Malabranca.

View below of Pozzo della Cava on Via della Cava 28.

We went down to visit these caves shortly afterwards.

A descent into a fascinating corner of the underground Orvieto that winds under the streets and houses of the oldest part of the medieval quarter
A dive into the bowels of the cliff, among small underground treasures to be discovered in absolute freedom and in total safety

A heritage of archaeological evidence re-emerged thanks to private commitment after centuries of abandonment.

Archaeological Complex, it is a UNESCO Member Global Network of Water Museums.

In the background is the Church of Saint John Evangelist (Chiesa di San Giovanni Evangelista).
