Aosta
The 'Rome of the Alps', founded as Augusta Praetoria in 25 BC: the Porta Praetoria, the Arch of Augustus, the theatre façade over twenty metres high and the cryptoporticus of the forum. The collegiate church of Sant'Orso has a Romanesque cloister and 11th-century frescoes in the roof space. At the end of January the Fair of Sant'Orso, held for over a thousand years, fills the streets with woodcarvers.
