Remember also to visit the St. Patrick well (Pozzo di San Patrizio) that was built in the 
XVI century, and it dig for 62 mt. into the basaltic rock and tufa under the city. The purpose was to create a water storage tank. Access to the water is guaranteed by two helicoidal stairs, one going down and one returning up, along the well’s side, where large windows are also present.

Best Parking in Orvieto. A free parking is situated at the Train station, if you like to reach the city by the funicular. (One each 10 or 15 minutes) Also a good parking is at Piazza del Popolo or Piazza della Pace (at Piazza del Popolo not on Saturday morning because there is the weekly street market). Anyway there are a lot of parking, signed with a blue and white P. Remember that if you park where are blu strips, you have to pay the parking with coins.
