Sant'Andrea, Romanesque church in Piazza della Repubblica, Orvieto, Italy.
The church features a central nave with two aisles divided by arches and columns, complemented by a twelve-sided bell tower near the Town Hall.
The excavations beneath Sant'Andrea revealed remains of ancient Etruscan structures and a paleochristian church dating back to the early settlement period of Orvieto.
The church served as a venue for significant papal ceremonies, including appointments of cardinals and declarations by Pope Innocent III during the 13th century.
While entrance to the main church is free, visitors need to make reservations for guided tours to explore the underground archaeological area.
The granite columns inside the church were repurposed from earlier structures, connecting the building to multiple layers of local architectural history.
