Arch of Augustus, Triumphal arch in Aosta, Italy

The Arch of Augustus features ten engaged columns with Corinthian capitals and spans 11.4 meters in height at the eastern entrance of Aosta.

Built in 25 BC after the Roman victory over the Salassi tribes, the arch marked the entrance to Augusta Praetoria from the southern region.

During medieval times, the monument received the name Saint-Voût due to a religious image of Jesus displayed at the location.

The monument stands near Bourg Saint-Ours district, with numerous restaurants and accommodations within walking distance for visitors to explore.

A wooden crucifix hangs beneath the vault as a votive offering from 1449, with the original now preserved in the Museum of Aosta Cathedral.
