Orvieto

Orvieto is a beautiful town close to Perugia. We took a fenicula to the center of town and were dropped off in a garden overlooking the region.

The view was incredible and we saw an etruscan well and door to the city. We finally had a sunny day without rain, which made it even better.

The duomo of Orvieto is breathtaking... very colorful and large. It was built over the course of three centuries resulting in a mix of architectural design. As the sunset, all the colors of the basilica were brightly illuminated. Not far from the church, we walked through the medieval quarter and saw many little streets filled with small churches and stores. Near the medieval quarter, was another point of view... which was phenomenal! Olive trees, grapes, lavendar, beautiful houses stretched out for miles. We couldn't get enough!! Later that day, we had a nice dinner and had a cafe at a pretty bar near the duomo...

Orvieto is a beautiful place!! It was a really nice day : )
