📍 Gothic Masterpiece of Orvieto 🇮🇹 📍 Orvieto Cathedral in Italy is celebrated as a Gothic architectural masterpiece. Its facade, adorned with intricate sculptures and mosaics, captures the eye, while the interior showcases stunning frescoes by renowned Renaissance artists. 🏰⛪ #OrvietoCathedral #Orvieto #Italy 📍 Fusion of Faiths in Córdoba 🇪🇸 📍 The Mosque-Cathedral of Córdoba, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, exemplifies a unique blend of Islamic and Christian architectural styles. Iconic for its horseshoe arches and elaborate mosaics, it also features a Renaissance-style cathedral nave built within the former mosque. 🏰⛪ #CordobaMosqueCathedral #Cordoba #Spain

Sitting on top of a big butte of volcanic tuff, Orvieto retains large signs of its Etrurian past, so much so that the first thing that stood out to me was the light brown tones across its alleys and its roads. The Duomo cathedral is the main attraction. The church was built in the 14th century and is dedicated to the Ascending of the Virgin Mary. Aesthetically it might remind you of the more famous Cathedral of Siena, obviously because of its roman-gothic style! This one in Orvieto is one of the most significant in Italy. Don’t miss a visit to another landmark of note, like Torre del Moro for a sunset view of the town and the surrounding hills, Pozzo di San Patrizio and Fortezza Albornoz! Since we are in Umbria, food plays a unique role. Local cuisine is highly appreciated thanks to its cured meats and other traditional dishes. If you’re planning a road trip across Italy, don’t miss this part of the country for its authenticity. #italy #italytravel #italybeauties #umbria #orvieto #awesomepic #travel #town #oldtown
