Common card · No. 431829

The province of Perugia (Italian: provincia di Perugia) is the larger of the two provinces in the region of Umbria in central Italy, comprising two-thirds of both the area and population of the region. Its capital is the city of Perugia. The province covered all of Umbria until 1927, when the province of Terni was carved out of its southern third. The province has a population of 635,988 in an area of 6,337.15 square kilometres (2,446.79 sq mi), covering about two-thirds of Umbria. The province has numerous tourist attractions, especially artistic and historical ones, and is home to the Lake Trasimeno, the largest lake of Central Italy. It is historically the ancestral origin of the Umbri, while later it was a Roman province and then part of the Papal States until the late 19th century.
