Al Vicolo Del Pozzo Etrusco In Perugia

Suggestive, very interesting architecture of the stone beams, beautiful passage from above to below

It's impressive that it was dug 2,300 years ago and that the stones of the upper structure are held together by interlocking joints! A maximum of 10 people can be in the well at a time, so there may be a queue to get down. The 40 steps are wet and there's a risk of splashing water, but it's worth it!

It's incredible to think that this place has stood for over 2,000 years. It's a shame it's not being given the recognition it deserves. After paying for the ticket, you watch a short, somewhat unclear video and then head down to see the well. The whole thing takes about 10-15 minutes. The grandeur of this work is not highlighted at all, as it deserves more.

To be seen. In addition, it is still in operation.

Suggestive and interesting site

Interesting and non-binding visit.

The well is very beautiful, a splendid demonstration of how the ingenuity of the Etruscans met the needs of the population in the centuries before Christ. We waited almost an hour to enter. The well is a self-guided tour, and the visit lasts about ten minutes. There is a line to enter; you are called by number, which is given by an employee at the well entrance. Payment is due immediately before entering the well's turnstile. Only 10 people can enter at a time because the stairs to go up and down are the same, so space is limited. I recommend the visit. If you also have a ticket for the Perugia Underground, you pay a reduced price for the well.

The well is very beautiful, the price is not adequate (it takes a maximum of 5 minutes to visit it)

I visited Perugia for the first time, a splendid city, I'm sure this site would have been just as good. From the photos, it looks wonderful. Unfortunately, the green label provisions excluded us from this beautiful experience.

The Etruscan Well is a short but impressive stop in the heart of Perugia. In just a few steps, you find yourself standing before an engineering masterpiece from over two thousand years ago: a deep well, with two enormous travertine arches, fitted together without mortar, still holding everything together. The visit lasts a short time, and the ticket price may seem steep considering the time you spend there. The space is small and there's not much to see beyond the well itself, so if you're looking for an interactive or content-rich museum, you might be a bit disappointed. However, the feeling of being inside an authentic piece of history is strong. No modern displays or frills, just stone, water, and Etruscan ingenuity. Ideal for a quick stop that leaves its mark.
