The best road cycling routes around Allerona

Lake Bolsena, located between Lazio, Umbria, and Tuscany, is the largest volcanic lake in Europe. A true natural wonder, thanks to its breathtaking landscapes, clear waters, quiet beaches, and villages rich in history and culture, this lake is an ideal destination for those who love tranquility, culture, and nature.

The Cathedral of the Holy Sepulchre is a 10th-century Romanesque basilica. Inside, a blood-stained stone believed to come from the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem is preserved. Beyond the façade, inside lies a beautiful crypt.

From up here you have a fantastic view of the entire Lake Bolsena.

The medieval quarter of Orvieto, located on the western slope of the cliff, represents the oldest and most original part of the city. Characterized by narrow streets, tuff houses, and picturesque views, it includes the historic Via della Cava, an ancient access route to the city, with the Porta Maggiore and the remains of Etruscan walls. Here are also the Pozzo della Cava, the small church of the Madonna della Cava, and two imposing "fortress-churches": San Giovenale and San Giovanni Evangelista, built in strategic positions to control the territory. Panoramic routes such as the one along Ripa Medici or between the two churches offer evocative views of the medieval urban settlement.

The church of San Domenico is located a few meters from Piazza del Popolo and Corso Cavour in the Teatro Mancinelli area (which can be quickly accessed via Via Felice Cavallotti). Of the original convent complex (one of the first churches built by the Dominican order), today only an intact part remains and there is no longer any trace of the ancient cloister that was probably located in front of the current Gothic facade of this church. In fact, a large part of the building and the entire religious complex was demolished in the fascist era to make room for the construction of the Women's Military Academy (one of the first in Italy). Inside the church, however, a work of great value is still preserved today, created in 1285 by Arnolfo di Cambio: the funerary monument to Cardinal de Braye, for which "pieces" of an ancient Roman sarcophagus were also used, such as the "statue of the Madonna". Another highlight inside the church is the Petrucci Chapel, which features the only existing example in the city of a 16th-century majolica terracotta floor. In front of the Church of San Domenico, there is also a small children's playground and a very central car park. (c) https://www.orvietoviva.com/chiesa-di-san-domenico-orvieto/
