The Abbey of Saints Peter and Andrew, also known as the Abbey of (or of) Novalesa, is an ancient Benedictine abbey founded in the 8th century and located in the municipality of Novalesa, in the Susa Valley. Since 1972 the abbey complex has been publicly owned, having been purchased in a dilapidated state by the Province of Turin, now the Metropolitan City of Turin, which entrusted it back to the Benedictine monks. The agreement with the Sublacense Benedictine Congregation has made it possible to enhance the historical and artistic importance of the monument and to spread knowledge of the ancient spiritual, cultural and social tradition of the Benedictine abbey.[1] One of the chapels of the complex houses two important cycles of frescoes from the 11th century, one dedicated to the titular Saint Eldrado and the other, among the first known in the West, to Saint Nicholas of Bari.

From here it is possible to see other forts that make up the Assietta defensive line, as well as the usual panorama of the surrounding peaks. It can be reached very easily as the area is served by a series of military roads

BENEDICTINE ABBEY OF SS. PIETRO AND ANDREA IN NOVALESA. Founded in 726 and located in Val Cenischia (Susa), the Abbey belongs to the Metropolitan City of Turin, which takes care of it, and since 1973 it has been entrusted to the custody of the Benedictine monks of the Sublacense Cassinese Congregation of the Order of Saint Benedict.

Fort Pramand was the last fort to be built in the Bardonecchia basin (it came into operation in 1905) and, thanks to this, it was equipped with some better innovative features than the other older forts in the area (Fort Bramafam and Fort Foens). It was also and can be reached by motorized vehicles via the Fenil - Pramand - Föens - Jafferau military road which connected it to the valley floor and to the other forts in the basin.
