El Duomo



it's impossible to talk about Orvieto without 
introducing the phenomenal El Duomo,
the 14th-century Roman Catholic cathedral. 

glance through the streets

It is flamboyant and breathtaking in its size and beauty... 


from above

apparently it took 300 years to complete, 
the interior is even more impressive... 



and of course i fell in love with the stripes on the outside, 
i had never seen a stripy cathedral before, 
how exquisite in the morning light!?




truly breathtaking.
