Pozzo della Cava Archaeological Complex - Orvieto

POZZO DELLA CAVA
ARCHAEOLOGICAL COMPLEX

A descent into a fascinating corner of underground Orvieto that winds under the streets and houses of the oldest part of the medieval quarter

A dive into the bowels of the Orvieto cliff, among small underground treasures to be discovered in absolute freedom and in total safety

A heritage of archaeological evidence re-emerged thanks to private commitment after centuries of neglect

From 2023 in the UNESCO Global Network of Water Museums
