Aosta, Administrative center in Aosta Valley, Italy
The city extends across a valley floor at 583 meters elevation, surrounded by Alpine peaks and positioned at the intersection of two rivers.
Founded in 25 BC as Augusta Praetoria Salassorum, the city served as a Roman military colony and strategic point on trade routes through the Alps.
The city maintains both Italian and French as official languages, reflecting its position as a cultural bridge between Italian and Franco-Provençal traditions.
The central location provides direct access to the Mont Blanc Tunnel and the Great St Bernard Tunnel, connecting Italy with France and Switzerland.
The urban layout follows the structure of an ancient Roman military camp, with preserved walls, towers, and a theater from the imperial period.
