Description

The well of San Patrizio is a structure built between 1527 and 1537 at the behest of Pope Clement VII.

He wanted to protect himself in the event that the city of Orvieto was besieged. The well was therefore built precisely to provide water in the event of a disaster or siege.

Have you ever entered the well? it is an engineering masterpiece: two one-way helical ramps, completely autonomous and served by two different doors, which allowed the extracted water to be transported on mules without hindering each other.
