MonumentoArco di AugustoTriumphal arch of 25 BC, gateway to the Roman town, crucifix traditionRaised to mark Rome's victory over the Salassi, the arch has watched over the road into Aosta for two thousand years. A medieval crucifix beneath the vault recalls its later life as a shrine.
ChiesaCollegiata di Sant'OrsoRomanesque cloister capitals, Ottonian frescoes, medieval priory complexThe priory of Sant'Orso gathers a thousand years of Valdostan art around its Romanesque cloister, where carved capitals narrate scripture and fable. Upstairs, rare Ottonian frescoes hide in the attic above the nave vaults.
MuseoGemma nascostaArea Megalitica di Saint-Martin-de-CorleansNeolithic stelae, five-millennia site museum, anthropomorphic carvingsAt Saint-Martin-de-Corleans, a covered museum floats above a ritual landscape first ploughed in the fifth millennium BC. Carved stelae and aligned wooden posts trace burial rites older than the pyramids.
Sito archeologicoTeatro Romano di AostaAugustan-era stage wall, open-air summer performances, Roman Aosta's southern quarterThe 22-meter facade of Aosta's Roman theatre still rises over the town Augustus founded in 25 BC. Built a generation later, the cavea seated up to four thousand spectators against an Alpine backdrop.
Sito archeologicoCriptoportico ForenseUnderground Roman gallery, forum foundations, atmospheric double colonnadeA horseshoe of vaulted galleries runs beneath what was the forum of Augusta Praetoria. Built to level the sacred terrace, the cryptoporticus now offers the closest walk through the Roman town's foundations.
