Pozzo della Cava is a unique look at life dating back 27 centuries. Descend into the depths beneath Orvieto for a self-guided adventure through archaeological finds such as pre-Roman wells, pottery, kilns, and more. Imagine tunneling out a cave network with no hydraulic equipment!

Find out how the caves have been used over the years, from bomb shelters to wine cellars. And don't miss a delicious home-cooked lunch in the restaurant afterward (at your own expense) complete with cave views.
