The Via delle Gallie was the first public building to be built in the Aosta Valley. The road crossed the territory of the Valle d'Aosta, coming from Eporedia (Ivrea) up to Augusta Prætoria (Aosta) and then forked towards Piccolo San Bernardo and Gran San Bernardo. The route preserves archaeological remains that are still visible and of great value.

The Roman road of the Gauls, built to connect Rome with the Rhone Valley, has a remarkable and spectacular point in the Donnas section. The Romans carved out a living rock over a length of 221 meters, on which they could build perfectly vertical walls and in which they created the roadbed.
The Via delle Gallie reveals a vaulted passage 4 meters thick, 4 meters high and almost 3 meters wide, illustrating the impressive amount of rock removed. This advanced road technology was unparalleled until modern viaducts and tunnels.
