Pozzo della Cava — Attraction in Orvieto

Really fun and interesting little cave museum. We had the pleasure of being the only two people there, and it is really the perfect size, where every area is super interesting but isn't overwhelming and you can literally look at everything there.

This is one of those little gems that you find once in a while that captivates you for far longer than the time you spend actually visiting it! The history of the caves is well set out in multiple languages, and provides a wonderful narrative to the fascinating caves and man-made structures. At 3€ entry it is great value, the coffee in the little bar come gift shop is the best we tasted in two weeks of great coffee and there is a little restaurant as well. Totally recommended for all to visit and gain an impression of life in ages...
