The Cathedral (begun before 1285), in the southeast of Orvieto, in the Piazza del Duomo, one of the most splendid examples of Italian Gothic architecture, was built in alternating courses of black basalt and grayish-yellow limestone and decorated by the finest artists of the day. It was founded in 1290 in honor of the "miracle of Bolsena" and consecrated in 1309.
