Martigny

Martigny is best known in Valais for its Roman amphitheatre, a surviving monument of the ancient settlement of Octodurus. The town stands at a Rhône Valley junction where the Dranse meets the Rhône, below routes leading towards the Great St Bernard Pass and France. Its archaeological heritage is complemented by the Fondation Pierre Gianadda, an art and sculpture venue built around Roman remains. Vineyards rise on the sunnier valley slopes, while Martigny’s rail connections make it an important stop for travel through this part of the canton.
