Duomo di Orvieto – A Hidden Gothic Masterpiece in Italy

The Duomo di Orvieto is one of Italy’s most beautiful cathedrals, yet it often remains a hidden gem for many travelers. Located in the charming hill town of Orvieto, this Gothic masterpiece impresses visitors with its intricate facade covered in golden mosaics and detailed sculptures that shine under the sunlight. Step inside to admire the stunning frescoes, including the famous Last Judgment by Luca Signorelli. The cathedral is peaceful, less crowded, and offers a perfect stop on your way between Rome and Florence. Travel tip: Visit in the late afternoon when the sunlight beautifully lights up the facade and the square is quieter for perfect photos. #duomodiorvieto #orvieto #italytravel #hiddengems #cathedral

Duomo di Siena

Sitting on top of a big butte of volcanic tuff, Orvieto retains large signs of its Etrurian past, so much so that the first thing that stood out to me was the light brown tones across its alleys and its roads. The Duomo cathedral is the main attraction. The church was built in the 14th century and is dedicated to the Ascending of the Virgin Mary. Aesthetically it might remind you of the more famous Cathedral of Siena, obviously because of its roman-gothic style! This one in Orvieto is one of the most significant in Italy. Don’t miss a visit to another landmark of note, like Torre del Moro for a sunset view of the town and the surrounding hills, Pozzo di San Patrizio and Fortezza Albornoz! Since we are in Umbria, food plays a unique role. Local cuisine is highly appreciated thanks to its cured meats and other traditional dishes. If you’re planning a road trip across Italy, don’t miss this part of the country for its authenticity. #italy #italytravel #italybeauties #umbria #orvieto #awesomepic #travel #town #oldtown
