Orvieto -- A walk around the Rupa

A winter day is perfect for a walk along the edges of the Rupa, the cliffside of Orvieto's site above the beautiful and fertile Paglia plain. Millions of years of erosion created the tufa outcrop from the remains of ancient volcanoes. See the views on the Southern side of the cliffs at: https://pbase.com/mclew/ovietorupa
