Amazing architecture & beautiful craftsmanship

The duomo is a beautiful cathedral we visited in Orvieto on the greenline tour on the way to Assisi. It’s costs 4 euros per person to enter. Given our limited time in the town hubby & I decided not to enter the duomo so that...More

Inside and outside are a wonder of storytelling!

If you got off the AutoStrada to visit Orvieto then the Duomo is the reason. A very good reason. As I always suggest hire a tour guide to bring alive the thus stunning locale. The San Brizo chapel is a marvelous example of frescoes...so well...More

Incredible Facade

The outside of this building is spectacular and worth taking the time to really look at and enjoy. The inside less so but worth going to. Enter from the side as it’s free. Not worth paying for.

Stunning example of workmanship

The Duomo di Orvieto is a remarkable achievement of 13/14-Century construction. Beautifully built in alternating grey and white stone, the structure is reminiscent of the larger Duomo di Sienna. Although somewhat smaller, it is no less impressive. The face of the Duomo is perfectly positioned...More

Not your “ordinary” Duomo

This Duomo has its own unique characteristics unlike the others we’ve seen in PIenza, Florence and Rome. There’s a nearby parking

Stunning church

One of the more beautiful things to see in Orvietto. 4 euro entry fee, but I think you can get a multi entrance ticket for all attractions in orvietto.

There is nothing quite like this Duomo anywhere else...

The facade at the front of the cathedral is so spectacular that you never, ever expect to see the very homoerotic murals in one of the side chapels depicting the Last Judgement by Luca Signorelli. The clergy who sponsored this beauty certainly had great taste...More

Stunning

The photos say it all. This is an amazing duomo in an idyllic setting. Outside there are a number of bars and restaurants that you can sit and admire the beauty of this church. Inside is spectacular

Hi, there is a funicolare that brings you from train station up to orvieto. There’s so much so much to see, don’t miss pozzo of san patrizzio (near funicolare) and the caves underground etc etc

I visited the Orvieto Duomo in late March in the late morning hours-- probably 11 or 12 noon. I couldn't believe how much the façade sparkled and glittered in the sun then! Like magic! I took my husband to see it in early January, around 3 in the afternoon, and was so disappointed, as there was no sparkle and glitter at that hour. I would like to show him photos or videos which capture that magical sparkle. Can anyone recommend some? The locals told me the best time to catch the sparkle is 10 a.m. in the winter. Others said 1-2 in the afternoon. I don't know which is correct? They said sometimes the front sparkles right around sunset, 4ish in the afternoon. Does anyone know whether there is more sparkle in the spring and summer than in the fall and winter? I am planning another trip so he can see it sparkle in person.
