The Tiber Valley defines the setting of Perugia — the historic centre occupies a hill above Umbria’s rolling interior, so steep lanes, escalators and layered streets connect its upper and lower quarters. Perugia was an important Etruscan city before becoming a Roman municipium; the Arco Etrusco remains one of its most conspicuous ancient gates. Piazza IV Novembre forms the civic core, with the Gothic Palazzo dei Priori and the 13th-century Fontana Maggiore. The city is also known internationally for Umbria Jazz, held each summer, and for Baci Perugina chocolate.
