Orvieto and the cliff: they have always been one and the same. Needing no defensive walls, the city developed freely within. But the restrictions, imposed by the very nature of the cliff, meant that as time passed the city also grew upon itself, one phase on top of the other. So as you wander through the streets of Orvieto, you never lose touch with its history.Signs and clues are everywhere, piled on top of each other, and one step after the other, the succession of centuries and generation unfolds for you. The walk you are taking is through three thousand years of history. Let the city tell its story. Discovering and visiting the numerous historical and artistic cities in the neighborhood is very simple: Todi, Bolsena Lake, Viterbo (The City of Popes), Civita di Bagnoregio, Siena, Montepulciano, Spoleto, Perugia, Assisi, Trasimeno Lake, Gubbio, Cortona, Florence, and Rom, 'the eternal City'.
