The province spans over 8,052 square kilometers of diverse terrain, from fertile plains to mountain ranges, with the Pisuerga River flowing through its landscapes.
The province contained one of Spain's first universities in the thirteenth century, which later transferred its operations to neighboring Valladolid.
