Arch on the Via Francigena, just beyond the town of Donnas, also visible from the SS 26.

While traveling along the Via Francigena, on the stretch from Arnad to Bard, you cross this characteristic three-arched pedestrian bridge. On the left orogr. area with a bench for rest.

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. 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. Further on, on the right, we see a milestone that informs us of the distance to Augusta Praetoria (modern Aosta): XXXVI miles (about 54 km)

The Ponte di Echallod is a picturesque pedestrian bridge in the Valle d'Aosta region. This stone bridge, which has been restored several times over the centuries, connects the upper and lower parts of Echallod village with other villages in Arnad municipality. The Ponte di Echallod is a classic example of 18th-century architecture. It is built with stone and mortar. The bridge has three arches with counterforts and has a symmetrical shape. It is located along the path of the ancient Via Francigena, which comes from Verrès and heads towards Bard and Donnas.

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.

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.

In Turin in the medieval castle there is a copy of the pomegranate from the Issogne castle.
