Aosta

Aosta has served as a strategic Roman settlement in the Aosta Valley since 25 BC, when it was founded as Augusta Praetoria. The city lies on the Dora Baltea, in an Alpine valley framed by routes leading towards France and Switzerland. Its Roman inheritance remains unusually tangible: the Arch of Augustus, Porta Praetoria and the Roman Theatre stand close to the compact historic centre. Aosta is also the regional capital, with Italian and French both officially recognised in the autonomous valley.
