Today it is a UNESCO World Heritage site filled with numerous museums, stunning architecture and charming piazzas. The city offers something for everyone from culture, to great food and excellent shopping (like their famous gold or leather).

Orvieto
Orvieto is a beautiful town in the southern part of Umbria built on a flat mountain top. Visitors take a funicular (or inclined rail) to reach the city from the valley below. It started as one of the twelve cities in the original Etruscan federation and grew to the height of its influence in the middle ages as a Papal stronghold. This papal influence can be seen in grandeur of the city’s Duomo and surrounding palaces. The Duomo is famous for its architecture, and two side chapels. The chapel dedicated to San Brizio is covered with stunning frescoes by Luca Signorelli while the other chapel houses the relics related to the feast of Corpus Christi.
