About this experience
Depart from Rome to reach Orvieto, an ancient Etruscan city, which stands on an enormous tufaceous platform. You will visit St. Patrick well, built by Pope Clement VII in 1529 to ensure a water supply to the city in the event of a siege and, afterwards, you will reach the bright Piazza del Duomo to admire one of the most grandiose medieval architectural achievements in Italy, the Cathedral of S. Maria Assunta, with its enchanting facade. Civita di Bagnoregio, called the dying City, is a charming village clinging to a spur of tufaceous rock dominating the beautiful valley of the badlands. Linked to the world only by a long and narrow bridge, it holds a tuft of medieval houses and a population of very few families. You will have time for lunch ( at your own expense ) during the day.
