Province of Terni

The province of Terni is a territory in southwestern Umbria with river valleys, artificial lakes, and 33 municipalities spread across the landscape. It covers roughly 2,100 square kilometers and includes both rural areas and towns with varied geographic features.

This territory became a separate province in 1927 when the original province of Umbria was divided into two parts. Terni became the administrative center of this southern section and developed as a key administrative area in the region.

The area contains medieval churches and Renaissance palaces scattered across town centers that shape how places look and feel. These buildings show what kinds of architecture and art forms mattered to people who lived here long ago.

The region connects to Rome and other major cities through the A1 motorway and railway lines that run between the larger towns. Visitors can move between different municipalities like Orvieto and Narni relatively easily to explore the area at their own pace.

The Cascata delle Marmore was created by Roman engineering around 271 BC and diverts water from the Velino River into the Nera. This artificial waterfall was originally built to drain a swampy area and now serves as a power source for electricity.
