Immersed in the greenery of the Favret meadows, the small church of Santa Maria Maddalena dates back to the 12th century, when it was an autonomous parish dependent on the Chapter of the Cathedral of Aosta. Its apse and bell tower, characterized by an evocative "spur" that supports the structure, preserve intact the imposing sobriety of the primordial Romanesque. Between 1460 and 1463 the church experienced a second artistic splendor: the nave was enlarged and both the external part (facade) and the interior were decorated with a rich cycle of frescoes by Giacomino da Ivrea and his itinerant workshop. The façade features lively scenes: the Mass of Saint Gregory with the blood of Christ filling the chalice; Saint George facing the dragon; Saint Christopher ferrying the Baby Jesus; and, crowning all, Saint Martha, Saint Mary Magdalene and Saint Lazarus. Inside, in the apse, a majestic Christ Pantocrator is revealed surrounded by the symbols of the four evangelists, while on the side walls the twelve Apostles can be distinguished. Under the arch that divides the choir and the nave, fourteen panels tell the stories of Mary Magdalene. The works of the fifteenth century were commissioned by the noble De Villa (or La Tour de Villa), lords of Gressan, or by Giacomo dei Challant, lord of Aymavilles, whose family appears in the frescoed symbols. The building maintained the status of parish until 1786, when it was incorporated into Santo Stefano, thus becoming a simple chapel. In 1938, the church was the subject of passionate restoration: the paintings, covered with lime for centuries, were recovered and brought back to their ancient splendor.

The regional capital is located in the middle of the valley of the same name. The city still has the layout of the old Roman castrum, and in the car-free centre several monuments recall the Roman period. Aosta was a lively religious centre in the Middle Ages. St. Anselm, the later Archbishop of Canterbury who died in 1109, was born here. Today Aosta is a busy tourist hub at the crossroads of the roads to the Great St. Bernard Pass and Switzerland.

The Torre del Lebbroso dates back to the 13th century and stands on the western corner of the old Roman city walls of Augusta Praetoria. The tower was originally built on the foundations of an earlier Roman tower. The tower was once owned by the noble De Friour family. Later it was used as part of the Hospice de charité and served as a residence for a leper named Pietro Bernardo Guasco. The tower is also famous for the book “Le lépreux de la cité d’Aoste” (translated as “The Leper of the City of Aosta”), written by Xavier de Maistre. Today the Torre del Lebbroso belongs to the Regione Autonoma Valle d’Aosta and is used as an exhibition space.

The patronage "SANTA MARIA ASSUNTA" (in German: "Assumption of Mary") of this cathedral (bishop's church) refers to one of the many memorial days or feast days in honor of the Mother of God Mary. It goes back to the feast of her bodily assumption into heaven, which the (Catholic) Church celebrates annually on August 15th. In the Christian Orthodox churches, the feast is called "Dormition of Mary". In many rural areas it used to be customary for the population to collect bundles of herbs on this special day and to bless them during the festive service; this custom is still practiced occasionally.

The Aymavilles castle, located on a moraine hill and surrounded by meadows and vineyards, dominates the course of the Dora Baltea and the strategic and commercial route that led to the Alpine passes including the Piccolo San Bernardo. Its history is very ancient, in a papal bull of 1207 it appears as a simple tower or stronghold belonging to the assets of the canons of Saint Gilles. This fortification subsequently underwent numerous transformations thanks to the illustrious owners who followed one another over time, starting from 1360, when the Savoys enfeoffed the jurisdiction to Aimone di Challant. The castle is easily recognizable for its original but elegant structure characterized by eighteenth-century stuccoes, loggias and coats of arms. The exterior is refined by the presence of a vast park with a fountain, from which you can enjoy a spectacular view of the entire valley floor.

Recent studies have shown that the castle was built in its current appearance around 1275, although the toponym Castrum Argenteum appears as early as 1176. The builder was probably Master James of Saint Georges, architect of Count Peter II of Savoy, already active in Wales. The promontory on which the castle stands and which overlooks the town of Villeneuve was already inhabited in proto-historic times, as well as in Roman times. Its strategic position meant that the castle always remained in the hands of the Count of Savoy. The castle consists of a vast enclosure with fortifications and a lookout tower also outside. On the east side there is the chapel, the oldest part of the complex (11th-12th century). The western part of the enclosure is delimited by a defensive wall into which the entrance is made. This second enclosure contained the now destroyed dwelling, leaning against the wall, the vaulted cistern and the circular keep. The architecture highlights the defensive purpose of the original structure: the entrance door was positioned several meters high and the only lights are the slits, almost invisible externally. The castle is accessible on foot, in a quarter of an hour, from the small road that starts from the bridge over the Dora Baltea in the town center of Villeneuve.

A unique castle of its kind which concentrates medieval and baroque phases in its external appearance, the result of the architectural initiatives of the various members of the Challant family who over the centuries have adapted the building to the needs and tastes of the time. The Aymavilles castle is located in the municipality of the same name in the Aosta Valley, on a hill surrounded by vineyards along the road to Cogne. The castle was the subject of a long and complex recovery project that began in 2000, which involved multiple professionals in the design, historical studies and research, archaeological investigations and restorations. The restoration involved both the architectural structure and the internal decorative systems, managing to enhance the particularities of the various building campaigns and the numerous renovations that took place over the centuries. Numerous anecdotes, surprises and curiosities emerged from the past during archive research and during the works, today all visible during the visit. History The first mention of the castle dates back to May 1207. The castle began to undergo notable transformations starting from the 14th century, with the passage to the Challant family, an important noble family from the Aosta Valley. During the 15th century the castle was enriched by four corner towers, a double wall and the construction of the top floor. A major construction campaign dates back to the era of Joseph-Félix de Challant when, between 1713 and 1728, the spaces between the four corner towers were embellished with loggias, decorated with elegant stucco elements, while the interiors of the residence were transformed significantly and made more comfortable. The creation of the terraced park contributes to giving the castle the appearance of a modern stately residence surrounded by greenery, completely losing that of a medieval defensive fortress. During the 19th and 20th centuries, following the various changes of ownership, the castle underwent numerous internal alterations, linked to its use first as a museum house by will of the last descendant of the Challant house, Vittorio Cacherano della Rocca and later for the summer holidays by Piedmontese and Ligurian families. In 1970 the castle became part of the assets of the autonomous Region of Valle d'Aosta. The green space of the castle extends on terraces sloping towards the town and flanks, with its circular promontory shape, the surrounding hills used for the cultivation of vineyards. In spring and summer it hosts events and concerts. The grandze, once used for agricultural purposes, and the stables, the latter now used as a ticket office, belong to the castle's appurtenances. Visit The museum itinerary The guided tour and multimedia installations allow you to discover the history of the castle through the salient phases of its transformation, linked to the different families who inhabited it. The museum itinerary unfolds on four levels: Level I – the history of the families who took turns in the castle: on the ground floor the rooms illustrate the events of the Challant and Bombrini families, the last owners of the castle before its purchase by the autonomous Region of Valle d'Aosta Level II – nineteenth-century collecting, from Vittorio Cacherano della Rocca Challant to the collection of the Accademia di Sant'Anselmo: on the first floor the large hall represents the junction point between the history of the castle and the birth of the collection of the Valle d'Aosta cultural association in the nineteenth century to which all the rooms in this section are dedicated Level III – the rooms of Madama Giovane and the collection of the Accademia di Sant'Anselmo: the exhibition coexists with the testimonies of daily life at the castle in the nineteenth century Level IV – the evolutionary phases of the castle and the fifteenth-century wooden ceiling: the attic, integrating with the architectural evidence still visible, illustrates the transformations of the building over the centuries with the support of multimedia technologies.

History The castle stands in the Lalex area, on a promontory overlooking the Aosta plain above the state road to Mont Blanc, just beyond the crossroads for Cogne. Built in 1710 by Giovanni Francesco Ferrod of Arvier on the remains of a strong house from 1242, after various changes of ownership it was purchased in 1869 by the King of Italy Vittorio Emanuele II, who renovated it and used it as a residence during his hunting trips in the Aosta Valley. The royal castle of Sarre, which became part of His Majesty's private heritage, then became the headquarters used by the king of Italy for his expeditions in the valleys of Cogne, Rhêmes and Valsavarenche. To host the first king of Italy, the residence underwent some modifications, including the raising of the tower and the construction of a new stable. Inside, the rooms were completely renovated and modernized. The conservator of the Royal Palace of Milan was specifically entrusted with the furnishings, which he arranged by transferring the furnishings from other royal residences. Vittorio Emanuele's successor, Umberto I (1844-1900), also assigned the Alpine castle to uses linked to hunting. In the last years of his reign, Umberto I paid particular attention to the residence of Sarre, whose internal renovation he promoted. The works carried out on that occasion include the important decorative campaigns of the monumental environments, decorated with ibex and chamois trophies. The castle was inhabited as a holiday by Queen Maria José even in the years following the monarchy. In 1989 the Valle d´Aosta Region purchased the complex to restore it. The castle, which appears as a longitudinal body with a square tower in the centre, can be considered a museum of the Savoy presence in the Aosta Valley. Visit The visit itinerary unfolds on three floors: the ground floor is set up as a museum and introduces a guided tour of the upper floors; some rooms are dedicated to the hunting theme and illustrate the territory, the management methods and the technical specificities of real hunts. the first floor, which still retains the furnishings and the appearance it took on in the second half of the 19th century, recalls the residential dimension of the Umbertine phase of the castle; the rooms are presented, with some exceptions, with the furniture documented by the 1890 inventory and with the textile furnishings described by the same inventory and reproduced on the basis of some original samples preserved in the State Archives of Turin. on the second floor, the exhibition presents a chronological setting linked to the members of the Savoy dynasty who lived in the castle from the beginning of the twentieth century to the post-World War II period.
