Porta Pretoria (Aosta)

Highlight • Historical Site

The Porta Praetoria was one of the main gates of the Roman city of Augusta Praetoria Salassorum, as Aosta was called in ancient Rome. It served as the main access to the city from the side of the Roman road that crossed the Aosta Valley. The location of the gate is strategic as it allowed the connection between the Roman Forum and the Roman Theater.

Les Iles Nature Reserve

Highlight • Natural Monument

Les Iles: This area is a wetland in the central part of the valley, where former mining activities have led to the formation of lakes.
These lakes now provide refuge and food for countless bird species.
It is an important resting place for migratory birds and is also home to several breeding birds.
