\nThe next phase attributable to the Etruscan period, (a particularly flourishing age for all the city, named Velzna<\/em>) with ruins of ancient road pavements made of local basalt stones.
\nThe third phase of the Roman era witnessed only by\u00a0 few ruins and stratifications that testify to the abandonment of the city itself after the Roman conquest.<\/p>\n

The last cultural phase is the complex evolution of the city on the cliff, and it witnesses the birth of a first Christian community in Orvieto. Beautiful mosaic floors reveal the shape of an old Christian church, probably the first church<\/strong> built in the city. The basementof S.Andrea, today, \u00a0can be visited only with a local guide and only by reservation.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]See also other Orvieto underground attractions<\/p>\n
