VISITA GUIDATA ORVIETO
Walking in the heart of Orvieto means walking in a place characterized by a particular dualism: what stands out in the sky is contrasted by what sinks into the tufa of the Rupe on which the city is founded. This particularity makes it possible to live an 'experience between heaven and earth in which, for example, the more than 50 meters high of the majestic facade of the Cathedral corresponds to the 60 meters deep of the striking St. Patrick's Well. Only by moving one's gaze from high to low, and vice versa, will it be possible to understand the true dimension of Orvieto, a city with two souls in perfect synthesis with each other.

Stage 4: Medieval Quarter and Church of San Giovenale
As you cross the city, you can enjoy the view of the ancient palace of the Capitano del Popolo, a central figure in medieval political life. The palace is located in the Piazza del Popolo, the center of political, social and economic life since the Middle Ages. Also not to be missed is the Church of St. Juvenal, a small church built in the year 1000 on the edge of the city center.Visiting this church will give you the feeling of being catapulted into the early years of the last millennium and will be a truly unforgettable experience, especially thanks to the guide's perfect narration.
Walking in the heart of Orvieto means walking in a place characterized by a particular dualism: what stands out in the sky is contrasted by what sinks into the tufa of the Rupe on which the city is founded. This particularity makes it possible to live an 'experience between heaven and earth in which, for example, the more than 50 meters high of the majestic facade of the Cathedral corresponds to the 60 meters deep of the striking St. Patrick's Well. Only by moving one's gaze from high to low, and vice versa, will it be possible to understand the true dimension of Orvieto, a city with two souls in perfect synthesis with each other.
