Historically speaking, this monastic compound dating back to the early Middle Ages (seventh-eighth centuries a.D.) belonged to the Order of Saint Benedict until 1221, when the Benedictines were sent away from Orvieto by Pope Honorius III for rebelling against the city's Bishop. After 1226, the Premostratensians, settled down in the compound; they were the followers of Norbert of Xanten, who later became the Archbishop of Magdeburgh and had founded the first community of the reformed Order of Benedictine discipline in 1121 in Prémontré, north-eastern France, from which the community had taken its name. The rule of the Premostratensias aimed at a life of poverty, prayer and announcement of the Gospel in the form of Canons Regular, in opposition to the laxity which characterized the self-indulgent clergy at the time. It was the Premostratensias that added a large refectory room, a cloister and a chapter house to the original structure, which already included the church, the dodecagonal tower and the monastery and gave the compound its current architectural structure, that is arranged around two different courtyards.

The church, the construction of which started in 1233, a few years after Saint Dominic’s death, is amongst the first ones built by the Dominican Order in Italy. The first prior was Angelo Gozio, who was said to have received his monk robe from the hands of the Saint himself, and who belonged to one of the city’s noble families. Only the apse and the transept are still in place from the original church, an imposing three-nave building, partly demolished in 1932 to allow the construction of the female academy of physical education. The church hosts the desk from which Saint Thomas gave his theology lectures (1263-1264) when he spent some time Orvieto just after the miracle of Bolsena occurred, and wrote the liturgy for the Corpus Domini festivity at the behest of Pope Urban IV. The legend has it that while he was absorbed in prayer on his knees inside Saint Dominic’s Church, a voice coming from the crucifix in front of which he was kneeling said to him:

The marvellous hall was built in 1499 to host the Library of powerful Bishop Antonio Albèri (1423 - 1505 approximately) former archdeacon of the Duomo and preceptor of future Pope Pius III (born Piccolomini). Albèri commissioned this study room inspired by Siena's Piccolomini Library, (which is also adjacent to its respective Duomo), and in fact the two Libraries represent a unique and peculiar example of libraries adjacent to Cathedrals.

. In the sixth Canto of the Purgatory, Dante Alighieri confirms not only the importance of this city on the Italian scenario, but also the echo of the blood-stained events involving the Guelph Monaldeschi and the Ghibelline Filippeschi: the two families tearing down each other’s towers, confiscating each other's properties, prosecuting each other with the background of religious disputes and the development of heresies while Popes resided on and off in Orvieto. The figure of Boniface VIII stands out amongst the Pontiffs: in fact he proceeded against the town with excommunications and interdicts in order to bring it to submission. He succeeded and was even appointed People's Captain; he had the construction of the Papal Palace (Palazzo Soliano) started and two statues placed above the city’s most important doors: Porta Maggiore and Porta Postierla. This is what Italian author Pier Paolo Pasolini wrote in “Le Ceneri di Gramsci”: “Boniface’s bust/ about to become dust, defended/ by Baroque height in the medieval niche of the wall”

As it is usually narrated, Orvieto's Duomo was built in order to celebrate a fundamental event for the Christian world: the 1263 Miracle of Bolsena. As narrated by a sacred representation dating back to the first half of the fourteenth century and the subsequent popular tradition, a Bohemian priest, tormented by the doubt whether the consecrated host was Christ's body and blood, went on a pilgrimage to Rome in 1263 to strengthen his faith. On his way back he stopped in Bolsena to celebrate mass at the altar of Saint Christina's Basilica; at the moment of consecration he saw the broken host spill some stills of blood, that stained the Corporal, a linen cloth used during the functions. Once Pope Urban IV, who had been residing in Orvieto since 1262, learnt about the miracle, he sent the town's Bishop to Bolsena so that the latter would take the relic represented by the sacred linen cloth to the Church of Saint Mary; the Pontiff himself waited by the Rio Chiaro bridge for the relic to arrive and a solemn procession accompanied it to its final destination. The Orvietani thought the existing cathedral appeared too modest to host such a precious relic, therefore they decided a new religious building should be constructed, splendid and magnificent enough to match such a great miracle.

The fortress, in the quiet gardens of which you can also relax and have a picnic if you like, was erected at the behest of cardinal Egidio Albornoz who had come to Italy to reinstate the Papal dominion and prepare the return of the Pontiff from Avignon, and had conquered Orvieto with his troops in 1354. Pope Innocent VI himself urged the realization of the works and the fortress was welcomed by the captains and the vicars of the cardinal, who didn't feel safe in a town not provided with fortified structures. Work started in 1364 and the first structure was almost certainly designed by military architect Count Ugolino di Montemarte, with the aid of the capitano del patrimonio Giordano del Monte degli Orsini. This used to be a mighty square-shaped fortification, surrounded by a trench and provided with two drawbridges, a small-sized palace adjacent to the main door and other fortified structures along the walls. It was destroyed during the town's in-fightings in 1390 and Antonio da Carpi designed a new fortress to be built along the old perimeter in 1450-1452. The new fortress was then completed by Bernardo Rossellino. With subsequent modifications and adjustments, the fortress served as a military structure for the whole of the eighteenth century. A large part of the rock was demolished in 1831 after it fell into ruin in the early nineteenth century. A circular tower, the outside walls and three imposing doors are what is left today of the ancient fortress.

Pope Clement VII had the well restored in 1527, when he commissioned Saint Patrick's Well to Antonio da Sangallo the Younger on the opposite side of the town; works were carried out at the Municipality’s expense and were completed in 1530, while Saint Patrick’s Well was completed in 1537. Dug out of Orvieto’s lithoid tufa cliff, the Pozzo della Cava is 36-metres deep and has an average diameter of 3 metres and 40 centimetres. You will immediately notice a rectangular section (60x80 cm) cut vertically along the circular structure, provided with notches for footboards: it is a channel dating back to Etruscan times that probably served as a track for excavating the seventeenth century well; a tunnel that was probably a further source of water supply starts at a depth of 30 metres inside the main channel. As confirmed by a wallstone in the building that surmounts the well, the municipal authorities ordered the closing of the well in 1646 "for just reasons" that are still not well identified. Long forgotten, the well was rediscovered in 1984 by the Sciarra family, that owned this little gem, when the family house and trattoria underwent some restoration. Later works restored the structure to its original completeness in 1996 and the arch and the ancient access to the Via della Cava well were restored in 2004.

Many master glassmakers, painters and mosaicists were involved in this venture: Lorenzo Maitani, under whose direction the tower mosaic decorations, the bands and the frames were made, Giovanni di Bonino, who worked on the tribuna glass window, and Orcagna, who realized the Baptism of Jesus Christ between 1359 and 1360. Friar Giovanni di Leonardello and painter Ugolino di Prete Ilario the author of the drawings, the latter from Orvieto, created the mosaics of the Annunciation and the Nativity, while Cesare Nebbia worked on the Coronation on the main frontispiece in the sixteenth century. Many mosaic scenes underwent renovation at a later stage, which altered the original shape of decorations, or were replaced by new mosaics in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. A curious event, albeit not a usual one, occurred upon the celebration of the Duomo's fifth centenary (1790) when some of the original mosaics were detached and given to Pope Pius VI: the only mosaic scene out of those which has not been lost is the Nativity of Mary, which has been kept in London's
