Perugia is a city of art, rich in history and monuments, founded by the Etruscans, a cultural, productive and directional pole of the region, an international tourist destination and university seat, with a large historic center, asymmetrically laid out on a series of hilly hills. distance from the Tiber.
The city retains a harmonious medieval appearance and has the characteristics of a scattered municipality, with the presence of new neighborhoods in the flat areas, numerous hamlets spread over the vast municipal territory (449.51 km² - 11th largest municipality in Italy), and a multitude of green areas and fields.
The historic center of Perugia lies on an acropolis that rises at a height of about 450 m s.l.m. At the highest point, Porta Sole, the height is 494 m, a characteristic that makes it the most populated Italian city among those located at an altitude of over 250 meters. The historic center develops around this point and on the ridge of the hills that branch off from it, forming an acropolis and five medieval villages extended over five gates.
In the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries a new and definitive 9 km long wall was added to the original 3 km long Etruscan wall, which borders an area of ??120 hectares.
The historic city is therefore mainly elongated on the ridges, with a major axis of 3 km between Monte Ripido (to the north) and San Costanzo (to the south) and a minor axis of 1.5 between S. Francesco and Monteluce.
