Italy Travel - Orvieto, the Ultimate Hill Town

Orvieto is one of the quintessential hill-towns of central Italy. It perches on a rock crag above all the landscape. Not only does it occupy an amazing location, it also displays an intriguing collection of fascinating architecture. The Duomo, in particular, has a wonderful, rustic feeling yet features frescos by Fra Angelica.

A few notes:

Orvieto Cathedral, (Duomo) 1290 -- 1607,
façade considered "Late Middle Ages",
(quite unique, colorful)

Chapel of Madonna di San Brizio contains Fra Angelico's "Judgement"

Duomo Museum:
Historical fragments, displaced art, interesting if you have time.

Other worth-seeing Orvieto architecture:
Fortezza, Porta Rocca
Piazza della Republica
Piazza del Popolo
