Day trip into Orvieto

We had the option of daytripping into Orvieto or staying in at La Rocca and just chilling by the pool. My mom and I decided to go into Orvieto for the day and were pleasantly surprised. Orvieto is built on tufa, a stone of calcium carbonate. While we were there, we encountered a wedding at the church below and great views of the Umbrian valley.





The funicular ride up to Orvieto's main town.
Reminded me of taking the funicular in Capri. Kind of cool.



Orvieto's Duomo - Massive, especially in a town this size.
It was difficult to get a picture of the church.
