Church of Saint Andrea
Built on top of a former Etruscan settlement and an early Christian chapel, the Church of Sant’Andrea stands in the picturesque city center of Orvieto next to a 12-sided tower. The mosaics of the former Christian church as well as Etruscan archaeological remains can be visited with a guide. Popes Martin IV, Nicholas IV and Boniface VIII were all appointed here, making Sant’Andrea a pivotal place in the Catholic history of Orvieto.
