Overview
Orvieto's underground passages are a priceless treasure chest of historical and archaeological evidence that has only been systematically and scientifically investigated in relatively recent times. While the superficial appearance of the city has undergone transformations over the centuries, the underground structures that supported its functions have remained, for the most part, intact. A guided tour of the ‘Orvieto Underground’ is therefore the most appropriate way to discover this peculiar and fascinating cultural dimension of a city extraordinarily rich in history and artistic treasures.
Through an evocative itinerary, mysterious echoes of the past tell the story of the Etruscan city of Velzna, while evocations of the medieval and renaissance city emerge from the damp penumbra of the tunnels, revealing themselves in all their charm. Each step takes the visitor on a journey through time, revealing a new and surprising face of Orvieto.
