이제 성은 더 이상 Caracciolo 가문이 소유하고 있지 않으며, Aosta 계곡 자치주에서 구매했습니다.

Quart Castle is currently (January 2025) undergoing conservation work. The work should be completed by summer 2025.

인트로드 성의 기원은 12세기로 거슬러 올라갑니다. 성은 정사각형 중앙 돈존을 둘러싼 성벽으로 둘러싸인 단순한 구조로 지어졌습니다. 피에르 사리오 드 인트로드는 1260년에 성을 확장했으며, 15세기에는 성을 완성하는 추가적인 수정이 이루어졌습니다. 두 차례의 화재, 즉 19세기 후반의 첫 번째 화재와 20세기 초반의 두 번째 화재로 인해 복원 작업이 필요했습니다. 후자의 경우, 건축가 장 셰발레가 당시 소유주였던 기사 고넬라의 의뢰로 작업을 완료했습니다. 성 맞은편에는 르네상스 양식의 다락방이 있습니다. 완전히 나무로 만들어졌으며 두 개의 멋진 단철 난간이 있습니다. 근처에는 올라(Ôla)라고 불리는 마구간이 있습니다. 오늘날 인트로드 성은 브리엔차의 카라치올로 백작 가문이 소유하고 있으며 그랑 파라디스 재단에서 관리하고 있습니다. 거실에는 프레스코화가 장식되어 있습니다. 천장 근처에는 각기 다른 나무를 묘사한 장면들이 보이며, 그 위에는 트롱프뢰유 벽지가 있습니다.

Travelling along the Via Francigena from Aosta to Nus, just before Quart you come across this Castle built on a hill, an enchanting and solitary place.

The Torre dei Balivi, also known as Tour du bailliage, is one of Aosta's medieval architectural treasures. The tower, also known as Tour Cornière in French, was mentioned as early as 1192. In the 12th century it became the property of the local noble family De Palais (or De Palacio), who used it for their own purposes. Later, in the 13th century, it was transferred to the Count of Savoy and served as the seat of the bailiff (in old French, Bailly). The tower was expanded and remodeled in the 15th and 16th centuries, with new parts added to meet growing needs. In the 17th century it was used as a prison and courthouse. Since 2014, the tower has housed the Istituto Musicale Pareggiato della Valle d'Aosta.

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.

The castle of Introd stands on a promontory protected by the rugged gorges of the Savara torrent and the Dora di Rhêmes (the name of Introd, in fact, derives from "entre-eaux", or "between the waters") and probably dates back to the 12th century; like Graines Castle, it originally probably consisted of a square keep surrounded by a wall. After numerous fires and subsequent restoration, today it is open to visits and special events.
