With its helical system, in which those who go down into the well and those who go up never meet, it is in fact one of the most beautiful engineering masterpieces of the '500, we will leave you a few meters from the San Patrizio Well and you will decide whether to arrive in the center of Orvieto with our driver or if you want to try the experience of climbing by cable car. It is only one of the underground structures of Orvieto since full of tunnels and tunnels in the 'underground city', and do not miss the visit to the imposing cathedral of Orvieto, a work of Italian Gothic art, with inside the chapel of San Brizio which, due to its spatial and iconographic originality and the singularity of its theme, the chapel constitutes a unicum in art.
