Orvieto Underground Tours
Orvieto, a city thousands of years old and almost magically suspended between heaven and earth. A small town, Orvieto is famous for its unique and exceptional features: a maze of caves and tunnels is hidden in the silent darkness of the cliff it sits upon. The unique geological nature of the rock on which Orvieto stands has enabled its inhabitants to dig, in the course of about 2500 years, an incredible number of cavities that stretch, overlap, intersect below the modern urban city. A guided tour of Orvieto Underground is therefore the perfect way to truly appreciate this hidden cultural aspect of a city that is rich in history and art. The Orvieto Underground tour is a journey through time and an exciting and easy way to get into the heart of Orvieto’s oldest corners, whoses roots remain almost entirely intact.
