About
The Duomo di Orvieto is a magnificent 14th‑century Roman‑Gothic cathedral that dominates the city’s skyline. Its iconic rose window, gilded mosaics, and imposing bronze doors mesmerise visitors, while the interior houses masterworks by Luca Signorelli, Fra Angelico, and the renowned Corporal of Bolsena—a relic of the miraculous bleeding host.
