Italy's Sky City and Underground City

#5月好去地方2025 Civita di Bagnoregio is isolated on the top of the mountain and cut off from the outside world. The prototype of "Castle in the Sky" by Japanese animation master Hayao Miyazaki also comes from here; it is a "ghost town" that has been abandoned for hundreds of years. Because Master Hayao Miyazaki used this city as the theme, he created the animated film "Castle in the Sky", and also revived the deserted city to become the most popular attraction in Italy. From a distance, it looks like a city floating in the sky, as if it is a secret that cannot be described or explored. The Orvieto underground city needs to be transferred to a cable car, which is similar to the cave house in Turkey, but it is not seen due to lack of water. The most peculiar St. Patrick's Well and the spectacular underground city are suitable for human habitation. The countless holes in the cave are the habitats of birds. There is a beautiful church and Patrick's Well nearby, which are the highlights of the visit. It is worth mentioning that the glass and ceramic handicrafts in this elegant town are very beautiful and creative, which amazed me.
