The peculiar geological nature of the boulder has allowed the inhabitants to dig an incredible number of cavities that extend under the present city. Through this tortuous underground path, you can encounter panoramic openings and a never-ending set of tunnels, stairs, unexpected passages, and rooms on whose walls you can read, in small quadrangular niches, the age-old adventure of the birth of this “underground city”.<\/p>\n
The main attraction in the city of Orvieto is for sure the unique accessible<\/strong> \u201cCathedral\u201d <\/strong>\u2013 also called the \u201cDuomo of Orvieto<\/em>\u201d<\/strong> – he only church in Italy built in Gothic and Romanic style simultaneously.<\/p>\nThe accessible \u201cDuomo<\/em>\u201d<\/strong> is considered a masterpiece of Gothic architecture<\/strong> in central Italy and it is dedicated to the \u201cAssumption of the Virgin Mary\u201d, the fa\u00e7ade full of golden Mosaics and with a large rose window which is truly a marvel for your eyes. Some bas-reliefs on the piers depict stories of the Old and New Testament such as the \u201cBook of Genesis” and episodes of the lives of Jesus and Mary\u201d and inside two chapels are decorated with frescoes by some of the best Italian painters of the period which depict the \u201cJudgment Day\u201d. The most important chapel inside is the accessible \u201cChapel of the Madonna of San Brizio” because of the spatial and iconographic originality and the singularity of the theme, the chapel is unique in art, painted by \u201cFra Angelico\u201d and \u201cBenozzo Gozzoli\u201d in 1447 A.C. and completed by \u201cLuca Signorelli\u201d in the 1499 with the history of the \u201cLast Days of Jesus\u201d and a series of frescoes depicting the \u201cApocalypse\u201d.<\/p>\nThe Accessible Orvieto Tour <\/strong>will also take you to the accessible \u201cMuseum of the Opera of the Duomo<\/strong>\u201d \u2013 also called \u201cMODO\u201d \u2013 located on the second floor of \u201cPalazzo Soliano\u201d and the Papal Palaces.
