Orvieto

Orvieto is a beautiful town perched atop a hill in Umbria. We visited there on the day of the Cronoscalata della Castellana (see previous blog post).



The central piazza has a design in the cobblestones.





If you climb up many stairs to the top of the Moor's Tower, you see a pretty view of the town...





... as well as the bell tower.





It's a long walk down the stairs.





The duomo, or cathedral, is quite colorful compared to the others we've seen around Rome these past couple of months.
