Orvieto, Umbria, Italy
I promised more of the Orveto cathedral.
Thing is, the building is so rich in detail that once I start, it is hard to
leave stuff out.
But I don't want to do a whole page of cathedral pictures.
Here goes!
I know nothing at all about the history of this cathedral, or the meaning of
any of the art or designs on it. I cannot say anything meaningful about it.
So this time, the pictures really are going to have to speak for themselves.
OK, on to other things.
This spiral stair well led down to a path outside the
city walls. Actually a network of paths. I gather that it is a signposted trail of some sort.
I followed the trail part way around the hilltop, and down to the lower city to go back to my hotel.
Inside or outside the city walls, you just have to stop for a minute now and then, and admire the
Umbrian countryside rolling off into the distance.
Say g'night to Orvieto.
Onward to Firenze!
