|
Departing from your hotel in Rome, your driver will take you to the enchanting city of Orvieto on the border of Lazio. Its commanding position on a great square rock, a thousand feet above the valley, makes it an amazing site, visible from miles around. Here you will have time to walk around and visit the major attractions of this charming little walled hill town. The Glorious Gothic-style Duomo (cathedral) is one of the most beautiful churches in Italy, due to its splendid and decorative façade, façade adorned with elaborate scupltures and coloured mosaics designed by Lorenzo Maitani of Siena. Inside you can find the magnificent frescoes of Fra Angelico and Luca Signorelli. Other monuments to see are: the Palazzo Vescovile, Palazzo del Capitano del Popolo, the churches of San Lorence, Sant'Andrea and San Giovenale. Orvieto is also famous for its wine, mostly white. Your driver will then take you on to Todi, a town that occupies a trinagular site on a ridge above the Tiber valley.In the central square, Piazza del Popolo, you can sit outside one of the cafès and watch the world go by. Places to see: the Romanesque cathedral, the 14 th Century Palazzo del Capitano, Santa Maria della Consolazione, a domed church on the plan of a Greek cross, and one of the finest creations of Renaissance architecture that took over 100 years to complete.
