Duomo di Orvieto

Duomo di Orvieto is a stunning example of Italian Gothic architecture. It is one of the most iconic and beautiful cathedrals in the country, with its golden mosaics and intricate frescoes adorning the walls. Constructed in the late thirteenth century and built of stone and brick, the cathedral stands tall atop a hill in the Unesco World Heritage city of Orvieto. Its rose window, supported by two imposing towers, is a sight to behold, as is its interior with its many frescoes, sculptures, and tombs. The central nave contains the Chapel of San Brizio, renowned for its stunning frescoes, which was executed by the Renaissance artist Luca Signorelli. Visitors can also admire the treasury of the cathedral, which houses ornate gold and silver jewelry, religious artifacts and more. The nearby San Lorenzo church is also worth a visit. This little gem of a church contains excellent frescoes from the fourteenth century.
