Orvieto, Umbria, Italy

This past Spring my sister joined me to study in Florence, Italy. We both managed to get Monday's off from school and one of these free Mondays we decided to get out of Florence and go two hours south on the train to the town of Orvieto. The town is reached by a train and then a funicular ride up the hill and through the walls of the old city. This first picture shows one of the turrets of the fortified city and the view to the farms in the valley below.


This photo is of Orvieto's cathedral. The weather had started to get cold and windy at this point, but the overcast conditions made for decent lighting during the afternoon.


This picture shows the same cathedral at the end of the street.
