We visited a number of basilicas and churches in Rome, Florence, Assisi, Siena, Perugia, etc. over two weeks in Italy. This was my favorite, a combination of exterior, interior, and architecture. And, the ride up the rail car and the bus makes it easy to get to--no cost for parking.

Stunning inside and out. A printer guide is available when you enter the cathedral and we used that to understand what we were looking at. I then went to the Duomo Museum and the pieces were stunning. Great way to spend an afternoon in Orvieto!

I have traveled some, and without doubt, this is the most beautiful house of worship, inside+outside, that I have ever seen. I was in Orvieto for only a few hours, sadly, as a daytrip from Rome. I had arranged for a guide to meet me at the train station, walk me around town, and explain many of the details of the cathedral. The architecture, mosaics, statuary (including a Pieta), frescoes, and paintings are magnificent.

We made a day trip up here on the train from Rome. The duomo was obviously the biggest attraction in town and it didn’t disappoint. Incredible architecture with detailed decoration. We spent the time before and after just wondering the city, enjoying the beautiful weather and wonderful food. Great day trip or overnight destination.

Wow! A spectacular site awaits when you come face-to-face with Duomo di Orvieto (a Roman Catholic Cathedral of the 14th century). What a feast for the eyes when I rounded the corner after wandering through the streets of this medieval town in Umbria, to set my eyes on the Duomo! I did no prior research and allowed myself the element of surprise. Needless to say, countless photos were in order and on a spectacular, sunny July morning, they didn't disappoint. A visit inside will cost you 6€ and will provide some respite from the sweltering Italian summer. On the first visit, I took in the art/architecture/sculptures and the serenity that one finds in cathedrals. Having fallen for Orvieto, I returned a couple of weeks later and spent several More days in this unbelievable town. I visited the Duomo again, having arrived in time for the fabulous organ player performing some hymns. A pleasant and moving surprise. You'll love this Duomo and this town, Orvieto and Duomo di Orvieto are not to be missed!

What an amazing building. It is beyond belief that something like this could be built so long ago. We went to Mass there and there was a first communion. It was truly special. One of the many reasons to visit Orvieto

The Duomo is quite beautiful and unique with its zebra stripes. The inside is wall to wall intricate carvings, paintings and decorations. The Duomo is worth a visit. The town is picturesque, but touristy with many stores to shop that distracts from the beauty of the location. Orvieto lacks the rustic Tuscan charm of Cortona or Civita di Bagnoregio.

Nothing prepared me for my first view of the duomo. I was enjoying wandering the streets of the pretty hill town of Orvieto. I turned a corner and there it was; it took my breath away. Don’t miss exploring inside and out. Also worth visiting the three museums next door (included in ticket price).

The outside of this church is beautiful. Orange carvings and unbelievable colours. Must be the most striking church I have ever seen from outside. €5 each to go inside which is great as well. However the outside beats all others
