Pittsburgh is known as the “City of Bridges” 446 bridges in total which is more than Venice, Italy, or any other city in the world. Pittsburgh is the largest city in the region known as Appalachia.

Pittsburgh might be one of the most consequential cities in American history. From the late 19th through the mid-20th centuries, Pittsburgh was a center of industry and was responsible for many of the raw materials that powered the American economy.
