Province of Perugia

The city spreads across multiple hills with stone buildings connected by narrow streets, staircases, and underground passages dating from various periods.

The Etruscans established Perugia as one of their main settlements in the 6th century BC before the Romans gained control in 310 BC.

The National Gallery of Umbria displays medieval and Renaissance artworks within the Gothic Palazzo dei Priori, including paintings by Perugino and Piero della Francesca.

Two universities, multiple museums, and transport connections to Rome and Florence make Perugia a central point for education and tourism in central Italy.

The Rocca Paolina fortress contains preserved medieval streets in its underground levels, creating a subterranean neighborhood beneath the modern city.
