Torre del Lebbroso

Highlight • Historical Site

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.

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.
