Susa, Alpine commune in Piedmont, Italy

Located at the confluence of Cenischia and Dora Riparia rivers in northern Italy, Susa stands at 503 meters elevation in the Susa Valley.

The Romans established control of Susa in the first century BC, leading to construction of defensive walls and the Arch of Augustus in 8 BC.

The Susa Cathedral, dating from 1029, represents the architectural evolution from early medieval religious structures to current preservation efforts in the region.

The town center provides direct access to Turin through regular train connections, while maintaining its position as a strategic point between Italy and France.

The Roman amphitheater ruins and medieval fortifications demonstrate the continuous habitation and architectural development spanning over two millennia.
