Duomo Di Orvieto

Duomo Di Orvieto is a Roman Catholic cathedral located in the town of Orvieto in the Umbria region of central Italy. It is large in scale and was ordered to be built by Urban IV in the 14th century to commemorate the miracle of the Corpus Christi of Bolsena. It is said that in 1263, in the nearby town of Bolsena, a priest who traveled here doubted the doctrine of transubstantiation, and as a result, he found that his sacramental bread was bleeding a lot, so much so that it stained the altar cloth. This cloth is now stored in the Corpus Christi Chapel of the cathedral.

Siena’s Beautiful Gothic Cathedral 😍

Incredibly stunning cathedral in Siena. The exterior of the cathedral is beautiful, elegant, and pretty impressive. ❤️ I didn’t have a lot of time in Siena, and did not manage to go inside of the cathedral, which was a pity. It’s also located not too far from the main piazza. 💒 Address: Duomo di Siena Piazza del Duomo, 8, 51300, Siena SI, Italy #siena #italy #italytrip #duomodisiena

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

Siena is not as famous as Florence, but it is located close to Florence. It is one of the old city which in history it used to be Florence’s opponent in terms of development. As we can see, they also have a Duomo (cathedral) which look similar to Florence, but due to some reasons they couldnt finish building it. The city itself is very beautiful and hilly, so be ready to climb up and down #HalloTrip

Siena Cathedral requires a significant amount of time to be truly appreciated, at least 4 hours

Siena is not suitable for a day trip, as it's impossible to see everything in such a short time. The cathedral alone offers twice as much to see as the Florence Cathedral I just visited, and twice as much as Venice's St. Mark's Basilica. It has about ten times more to offer than Milan Cathedral. Beneath the main cathedral lies an even older church that dates back an additional 200 years, and next to the old church is a medieval one. Therefore, the vertical depth is equivalent to about 20 stories, allowing for exploration up and down. The cathedral museum is particularly stunning, housing some of Duccio's finest works. While most cathedrals have exteriors that are more impressive than their interiors (Milan Cathedral being the most typical example), Siena Cathedral is an exception, with an interior that surpasses its exterior in beauty. From the floor to the ceiling, there's also an astonishing library, reminiscent of the Vatican's (from which a Pope originated).

Stunning Waterfall in Central Italy

Marmore Falls is a man-made waterfall created by the ancient Romans. It is the largest man-made waterfall in the world! I visited it last summer, when it was the best time to enjoy the freshness around the falls area.

Umbria, Italy. It is a place greatly influenced by the Renaissance, after all, it is not far from Florence. Umbria is located in the middle of Italy, but it is a bit far from the Mediterranean, so the water surface you can see is Lake Trasimeno, which is also the fourth largest lake in Italy. Whether it is a residential house or a church, or the preserved defense facilities, they are all built of stone, sturdy and durable, and locally sourced.

One of the pilgrimage destinations for Catholics - the New Church of Assisi

The New Church of Assisi, as the burial site of Saint Francis and the mother church of the Franciscan Order, is one of the pilgrimage destinations for Catholics. It was listed as a World Cultural Heritage site in 2000. Saint Francis (Saint Francis of Assisi), Francis of Assisi (1182-1226), also known as Francis of Assisi, Saint Francisco. 'Francis' is an old translation, and today it is transliterated as 'Francesco' according to Italian pronunciation. Born into a wealthy merchant family in Assisi, Italy, he lived a life of luxury in his youth, but after experiencing war, he had an epiphany in his twenties, renounced his wealth, and sought poverty and seclusion. He begged for a living, wore coarse monk's robes, and went to a small church outside the city every day to pray devoutly (the church he is holding in his hand), spreading the gospel everywhere, and his life was full of legends, attracting devout Christians from all over Western Europe to this small church. Considering his influence, the Pope granted him the right to preach in hopes of suppressing the heretical doctrines that were emerging across Western Europe. From then on, Francesco led his followers to preach in marketplaces, under roadside trees, and even in threshing grounds, thus establishing the Order of Friars Minor. In paintings, Saint Francis is always depicted wearing a gray robe, and members of the Franciscan Order are also known as 'Greyfriars'. Many churches in Italy belong to the Franciscan Order, and the first missionaries to China were also members of the Order (during the Yuan and Ming dynasties). Saint Francis is one of the earliest saints to be canonized by the Roman Church in popular hagiographies. The Franciscan Order he founded, along with the Carmelite Order and the Carthusian Order, were among the earliest mendicant orders serving the sick, orphans, the elderly, and education. The Franciscan Order is also widespread in China, and its affiliated nun orders still serve the last lepers in China today. The cathedral and monastery were completed in 1253. The Basilica of Saint Francis consists of an upper and a lower church, one built on top of the other. If the crypt is included, there are actually three levels. The most famous part of the upper church is the 28 frescoes depicting the life of Saint Francis painted by Giotto. The Giotto frescoes at the top were severely damaged in an earthquake in September 1997. The art-loving Italians spent 37 million euros and nearly 10 years painstakingly restoring the over 300,000 shattered fragments. The crypt was sealed in the 15th century to prevent desecration by the laity and was not reopened until 1818. After the tomb was opened, the underground crypt of Saint Francis was added. The lower church is the burial place of Saint Francis, in Romanesque style with ribbed vaults, while the upper church has ribbed and pointed vaults, decorated with tracery windows. The upper church was severely damaged in a recent earthquake disaster. Both the upper and lower churches feature many religious frescoes painted by famous artists such as Giotto, Lorenzetti, and Pisano.

Basilica di San Francesco d'Assisi

Basilica di San Francesco d'Assisi is located in the small town of Assisi in central Italy, where Francis of Assisi is buried and is the mother church of the Franciscan Order. It is listed as a World Heritage Site and is an important Catholic pilgrimage site in Italy.
