The Roman road of the Gauls, built to connect Rome with the Rhone Valley, has in the Donnas section one of its most characteristic and spectacular points, carved out of the living rock over a length of 221 metres. In a place where in ancient times the rocky promontory plunged into the waters of the Dora, the Romans launched a real challenge to nature by carving out a living rock on which they could draw perfectly vertical walls and in whose bosom they cut the roadbed. Exciting and unusual, here the Via delle Gallie gives its best by offering the spectacle of a vaulted passage 4 metres thick, 4 metres high and almost 3 metres wide that eloquently illustrates the amount of rock removed and shows all the refinement of a road engineering never again achieved until viaducts and modern tunnels. In the Middle Ages it served as a gate to the village, which was closed at night; The other defences were of course: on one side the mountain and on the other the river. A fundamental road, much used over the centuries, as evidenced by the deep ruts left by the passage of carts and the wear of the walking surface that has been patched and repaired at various points over time. A little further on, on the right, we recognise the excellent profile of a milestone, also spared in the rocky bank, which informs us of the distance to Augusta Praetoria (the current city of Aosta): XXXVI miles (about 54 km).

The origin of this bridge is uncertain, but it was probably built in Roman times. The first documents mentioning this bridge date from the second half of the 13th century. From 1272 onwards, the bridge was called Hôhne Bridge or Bard Bridge in Latin and then in Old French. Apart from its history, the bridge is a beautiful photo point of Fort Bard.

In addition to many temporary exhibitions, often aimed at promoting and learning about the culture and territory of the Aosta Valley and the Alps, the Forte di Bard includes three permanent museums. 1.) On the top floor is the Museum of the Alps. Here the secrets of the mountain have been presented through a multimedia path and interactive installations. A truly worthwhile and informative museum!!! 2.) A second museum room is dedicated to the prisons of the fort, twenty-four narrow cells (1.3 x 2 meters) distributed in four areas and accessed from a gallery decorated with historical prints and paintings that tell the story of the building. 3.) Finally, the Fortress and Border Museum of the Opera Ferdinando offers a journey through the history of the Bard through a parade of historical and plastic weapons, including scale models of defensive structures and miniature armies.

This advanced road technology was unparalleled until modern viaducts and tunnels. In the Middle Ages this functioned as the village gate, which was closed at night. The other natural defenses were the mountain on one side and the river on the other. This basic road has been used extensively over the centuries, as evidenced by the deep ruts left by passing carts and the wear and tear of the walking surface, which has been repaired at various points over time.

The Fort de Bard, which has remained almost unchanged since its reconstruction, represents one of the best examples of a dam fortress from the beginning of the 19th century. The stronghold has three main buildings, on several levels, between 400 and 467 meters high: from the lowest, the Ouvrage Ferdinand, to the middle one, the Ouvrage Victor and, at the top, the Ouvrage Charles-Albert, a whole of 283 rooms. The Ouvrage Ferdinand is shaped like pincers and has two buildings, the Ouvrage Ferdinand Inférieur and the Ouvrage Ferdinand Supérieur. The Ouvrage Mortai, placed behind the latter and the adjoining Powder Magazine house the rooms intended for the didactic laboratories. About halfway up the rock, stands the Ouvrage Victor where you will find "Les Alpes des Enfants", an interactive trail. At the top, the most imposing of the three structures has an enclosure on which all the buildings rest and which contains the Ouvrage de Gola, its courtyard, which can defend the south side, and the Ouvrage Charles-Albert and its large quadrangular courtyard of the Place d'Armes, surrounded by large arcades. The first floor of the Ouvrage Charles-Albert is dedicated to the "Musée des Alpes". Inside the structure, there is also a tour of the history of the Fort, in the Prison rooms. The Fort is accessible by an external road, on the south side, which leads to the courtyard of the Ouvrage de Gola, and by an internal road which winds in narrow steep bends, protected by large stone walls and which goes up the opposite slope towards the North, thus allowing one to reach the Ouvrage Charles-Albert. These two roads are only accessible on foot. The summit of the rock and the fortress is easily accessible thanks to the panoramic lifts which, from the village of Bard to the foot of the Fort, provide access to the Ouvrage Charles-Albert and therefore to the Museum of the Alps. https://www.viefrancigene.org/fr/resource/poi/forte-di-bard/

The Castello di Issogne is one of the most famous castles in the Aosta Valley and is known for its Renaissance style that contrasts with the nearby, more austere Castello di Verrès. The castle has a remarkable courtyard with a fountain in the shape of a pomegranate tree and a colorful portico, a rare example of medieval Alpine painting, with frescoes depicting scenes from everyday life in the late Middle Ages. The castle's history dates back to a papal bull in 1151, and it has a rich history that includes its transformation from an episcopal fortress into an elegant princely residence. The castle is open to visitors and offers a unique look at the culture and architecture of the region.

The Castello di Verrès is an impressive medieval castle in the Aosta Valley, built in the 14th century by Yblet de Challant. The castle is known for its unique monolithic structure, which resembles a solid cube and differs from most other castles of the time which consisted of multiple buildings within a walled enclosure. Dominating the town of Verrès and the entrance to the Val d'Ayas, the castle has a military character that merges with elegant stone details that adorn the windows, doors and monumental mantelpieces. The castle has no corner towers nor a keep.

A very special Roman bridge with a beautiful view.

To the west of the village of Donnas, a few meters from the chapel of Sant'Orso, where the road inevitably ran alongside the course of the Dora, stands the Roman arch, dug and cut into the rock and which forms part of the mountain like a natural buttress; the road is carved for 221 meters in the rock, with a large arch that testifies to the cyclopean work carried out: the cut, narrated in the legend of the blacksmith of Donnas, in certain points exceeds twelve meters and traces of the levels reached by teams of stonemasons. The arch, built between 31 and 25 BC, measures approximately four meters in thickness and height and has a span of three metres. In the wall that flanks the road there is also the milestone carved with the Roman numeral XXXVI, indicating the miles that were counted starting from Aosta (Augusta Praetoria). You can also notice some steps that in the past were used to go down to the river bank where there was a mooring for boats.

The castle of Issogne stands a short distance from the Dora Baltea: a Roman villa, a robust stronghold owned by the bishop, a medieval manor, a refined stately home that testifies to the power and wealth of the Challant family, and a dream castle for Vittorio Avondo. The external appearance, severe and modest, hides centuries of history and magnificent masterpieces inside. From the courtyard with the coats of arms to the lunettes of the atrium, from the lush garden to the pomegranate fountain, it represents a triumph of late Gothic art, in the transition period between the end of the Middle Ages and the beginning of the Renaissance. Here every detail tells the story of Prior George of Challant, refined promoter of the architectural modifications and decorations that give the castle a uniqueness in the medieval figurative culture of the Alpine regions.

It is an impressive testimony to the Romanization of the Aosta Valley. Its dating is uncertain: for some it was built around 120 BC, for others in 25 BC. The bridge Anchored to the living rock on both sides, it is 25 meters high and its single arch is 35 meters wide. At the base, the housings for the wooden beams which formed the scaffolding necessary for the construction of the stone arch are visible, dug into the living rock. At the end of the 19th century some iron keys were placed to consolidate the structure. At the beginning of the 19th century, another wooden bridge was built just downstream, later replaced in 1876 by the current masonry construction. The legend Popular imagination has attributed the construction of the bridge to the devil. Legend has it that Saint Martin, bishop of Tours, having to return from Italy to his diocese, found himself blocked by the Lys torrent, which with its flood had overwhelmed the only footbridge. The devil proposed to him to solve the problem by building a solid bridge in a single night, but in exchange he demanded the soul of the first person to cross the bridge. The saint accepted, but the next morning, by throwing a piece of bread at the other end of the bridge, he made sure that the first to cross it was a hungry little dog. The devil, furious, disappeared in the Lys between lightning and whiffs of sulphur, and the population was left with the bridge. The legend still constitutes one of the fundamental themes of the Pont-Saint-Martin carnival, which ends with the burning of the devil under the Roman bridge.
