Orvieto, designed as an impregnable protective village, was discovered by the Etruscans on top of a lofty hill made of a volcanic ash stone known as tufa. Today, it is an increasingly popular tourist destination filled with awe-inspiring architecture, such as the Duomo Cathedral, which influenced the lovely Sistine Chapel of Michelangelo with its stunning frescoes and mosaics. Likewise, it has a labyrinth of underground tunnels that would give you a one-of-a-kind sightseeing adventure. Carved by the Etruscans more than 3,000 years ago, these intricate tunnels feature quarries, cisterns, stairs and grandiose rooms.
