Leave the charming medieval streets behind and immerse yourself in a world hidden beneath Orvieto at Pozzo della Cava. This is no ordinary well, but a journey through layers of history, rediscovered by a local family right beneath their own home.

You can explore ancient Etruscan tunnels, see where medieval potters fired their ceramics, and peer into the depths of the well, which reaches 36 meters deep. It is an intimate, self-guided experience that allows you to retrace 2,500 years of history at your own pace.

The entrance is conveniently located just a two-minute walk from the escalators that lead up to the well from the Campo della Fiera parking lot.
