Castello di Pont Saint Martin

The stone castle stands on a rocky outcrop overlooking the Dora Baltea river, featuring defensive walls and a central tower structure.

Built during medieval times, the castle served as a strategic control point for trade routes connecting the Aosta Valley with neighboring regions.

The castle represents traditional military architecture of the Aosta Valley region, reflecting construction methods from the medieval period.

Visitors can reach the castle ruins through a walking path that starts from the town center, near the Roman bridge.

The castle shares its landscape with ancient chestnut trees and contains structural elements carved directly into the bedrock.
