Orvieto Cathedral

Date : 10 Feb 2021

Being in the area we took advantage of it to visit the Cathedral of Orvieto, one of the most important examples of Gothic art in Italy. The construction of the Cathedral of Orvieto began in 1290 and ended in 1591. The design and direction of the works were alternated between several architects, mainly Lorenzo Maitani and Arnolfo di Cambio. The front is rich in bas-reliefs and sculptures and made sumptuous by gilding. Inside there are frescoes by several artists, among which Beato Angelico and Luca Signorelli excel. The cathedral can be visited at the times established that can be found on the site www.opsm.it
