What to do · Orvieto
In the western part of Orvieto, beneath a private house, you can visit a well of Etruscan origin enlarged in the 16th century and a series of caves with kilns, cisterns and remains of pottery. It is a self-guided visit, shorter and quieter than the guided underground tour, and a good way to round off a walk through the medieval quarter. It is included in the Carta Unica.
