Itinerary

Pozzo Della Cava - Complesso Archeologico

A fascinating underground journey in the medieval district of Orvieto, through caves full of Etruscan, Medieval and Renaissance archaeological artefacts, unearthed thanks to the hard work of the family who owns it. The well is a huge hole in the tuff excavated by Pope Clement VII between 1527 and 1530 expanding an Etruscan well; closed to the public in 1646 and rediscovered after centuries of neglect. In the nine caves around the well you can see alsto a medieval pottery workshop with numerous majolica artefacts and ceramicists’ tools, some small medieval pits used to dispose of rubbish, an Etruscan cistern, a Medieval winecellar and the remains of some ancient Etruscan burial tombs.

Quick interesting tour

The history behind Orvieto is fascinating. Very knowledgeable guide. Well worth the money. If you are claustrophobic don’t go!

Outstanding, admission is more than fair. Nice activity not too long. Never seen anything like that. Easy to approach from the foniculor.

Worth the visit

Very interesting to see the caves that lie under the city in a self guided tour. I like self guided so we can go at our own pace. Also a beautiful cool refuge from the July heat!

Mind blowing history here!

Fascinating self-guided tour of the Etruscan underground. Informative and just long enough! Great visuals made for super pictures.
