Ospedaletto

Highlight • Settlement

On the route of the ancient Etruscan road, which connects Perugia to Orvieto, is Ospedaletto, known since the Middle Ages as a place for the shelter and refreshment of pilgrims and wayfarers. In addition to the natural beauty of Monte Peglia and the remains of the Plesistocene Breccia Ossifera, the small medieval church of Santa Caterina d'Alessandria should be mentioned, the first structure of which dates back to the 14th century. There you fill up with water and you can rest, eat, relax for a moment before setting off again.

Ficulle is a village of Etruscan origin that still shows signs of the Roman era. The fortress is very suggestive and can be visited. Real climb to get there, but worth it!

Orvieto Cathedral

Highlight • Religious Site

If Orvieto is splendid, the Duomo is a precious stone set in its historic center. The design is Romanesque, then embellished with many elements in Gothic style. The square is wonderful. You can't not come here!

St. Patrick's Well

Highlight • Monument

The city of Orvieto certainly deserves a visit for its cultural and artistic wealth. The Pozzo di San Patrizio is a masterpiece of Renaissance engineering, with a double helical spiral staircase that allowed going up and down without crossing each other.

Nice ride in the villages of Orvieto. Challenging due to the difference in altitude but on roads in good condition and with no traffic. It starts from Ciconia (free parking not far from the motorway exit) and immediately tackles the 19 km climb that leads to the top of Monte Peglia at about 800m above sea level. The climb is …
