Weitere Informationen:
Orvieto is one of the principal sights of the region of Umbria, Italy. It is perched high above tufa cliffs showing traces of every phase of history for the past three thousand years, and boasts a magnificent cathedral. Tourists should not miss Orvieto if they are visiting Umbria or southern Tuscany. The tufa ridge on which Orvieto is located is itself riddled with tunnels and wells dating from Etruscan times to only a couple of hundred years ago. The most spectacular of these subterranean burrowings is the Pozzo di San Patrizio, a deep well with a double spiral stair leading to the water source at its base. It dates from 1537 and is 62 m deep
