The Pozzo di San Patrizio (English: "St. Patrick's Well") is a historic well in Orvieto, Umbria, central Italy. It was built by architect-engineer Antonio da Sangallo the Younger of Florence, between 1527 and 1537, at the behest of Pope Clement VII who had taken refuge at Orvieto during the sack of Rome in 1527 by the Holy Roman Emperor Charles V, and feared that the city's water supply would be insufficient in the event of a siege. The well was completed in 1537 during the papacy of Pope Paul III. The name was inspired by medieval legends that St. Patrick's Purgatory in Ireland gave access down to Purgatory, indicating something very deep.

In 1527, in the day following the sacking of Rome, Pope Clement VII took refuge in Orvieto. To provision with water the Albornoz fortress in case of siege or conflict, this well was built, based on a plan of Antonio da Sangallo il Giovane. The St. Patrick well, completed in 1537, is 62 metres deep and, at the inside, two double-spiralled stairwells were made, planned for easier transportation of water.

Meraviglia dell'architettura gotica dell'Italia centrale. La costruzione della Chiesa risale al 1290 per volontà di papa Niccolò IV, allo scopo di dare degna collocazione al Corporale del miracolo eucaristico (Corpus Domini). La facciata si presenta armoniosa ed equilibrata, uniforme nello stile, merito soprattutto del rispetto del progetto e delle forme gotiche iniziali. Quattro contrafforti verticali a fasci, terminanti ciascuno con una guglia. All'interno si possono ammirare capolavori scultorei quali "La pietà" dell'Ippolito Scalza. Emblematica è la cappella del giudizio universale, affrescata da Luca Signorelli.
