where does the pitt take place

The Pitt takes place in a fictional Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Center's emergency room (ER) located in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The show is set in the city of Pittsburgh, specifically portraying a hospital environment inspired by real locations there. Some exterior shots were filmed at the real Allegheny General Hospital in Pittsburgh, which stands in for the fictional hospital in the series. The city itself is in southwestern Pennsylvania, where the Allegheny and Monongahela rivers meet to form the Ohio River, famously known for its hills and industrial history.
