Last minute Itinerari Castel Viscardo

The town Castel Viscardo

As the whole area of Orvieto, near Castel Viscardo too, more precisely in the village Caldane, has been discovered some rests of the Etruscan period aged VI century B.C. It's about a complex of seven graves, inside which have been discovered finds and fragments of great importance, these are still today object of studies and searches from the Umbrian Archaeological Superintendency.

Particularly interesting is the Church of Santissima Annunziata, the parish of Castel Viscardo, built in 1682. The Baroque façade is made by an alternation of stones and brickwork. In the inside it is preserved a Crucifix in ivory, gift of the Sun King to an apostolic messenger member of the Spada family.

In Castel Viscardo it's very developed the activity of the furnaces, inheritance that comes from the Middle Ages up to today, continuing in the production of appreciated bricks, tiles and square tiles.
