 A Little About Aosta
Situated
583 m. above sea level on hollow ground near the confluence of
the Buthier and the Dora Baltea at the foot of Mount Emilius (3,559
m.), Aosta is a crossroads for highways from France (Mont Blanc
tunnel) and Switzerland (Gran San Bernardo tunnel).
Founded by the Romans in 25 BC. on a previous Salasso tribal settlement,
with the name of Augusta Praetoria, it passed later into the hands
of the Goths, Lombards and Franks.
From
the 11th century on it remained almost constantly under the Savoy
family, sharing its destiny.
Remarkable
monuments remain from the Roman period: the rectangular town walls,
the Porta Praetoria, the amphitheatre, theatre and Arco di Augusto.
Medieval remains are the Lebbroso and Bramafam towers, as well
as the Collegiate church of Sant'Orso with cloister and treasures.
The cathedral (11th and 15th century) has a neoclassical façade,
as has the Palazzo del Municipio (Town Hall) which overlooks Piazza
Chanoux.
