The medieval Buildings
Palazzo del Popolo
It's the building of the Capitano del
Popolo, realised around the end of the XIII century. The lowest part of the
building was served for meetings and the market, while in the superior terrace
the judge talked directly to the people.
The Rocca Albornoz
Wanted by the cardinal Egidio Albornoz,
after the subjugation of Orvieto to the Pontifical State. The
first construction is dated 1364, but unfortunately was destroyed after few
years to be rebuilt than in 1390.
