Orvieto Cathedral, also known as the Duomo di Orvieto, dominates the city's skyline with its stunning Gothic facade adorned with colorful mosaics, rose windows, and intricate sculptures. Stepping inside, visitors are greeted by a serene interior that houses one of Italy's most celebrated fresco cycles: Luca Signorelli's Apocalypse and Last Judgment in the San Brizio Chapel. The cathedral's construction began in 1290 to commemorate the Miracle of Bolsena, and its facade is considered a masterpiece of medieval art. The contrast between the ornate exterior and the solemn interior creates a profound experience, making it a must-see for art and history enthusiasts.
