Aosta Italy is dotted with beautiful architectural splendors and natural wonders. Built in 4th century, the Cathedral of Aosta is visited by thousands of tourists and visitors every year. Built in the name of Virgin Mary, this humungous cathedral is absolutely magnificent. Another gigantic architectural beauty is the Arch of Augustus constructed in the 35 BC. The edifice was erected to mark the conquest of the Roman army over the regional Salassi. The Romanesque-Gothic Sant'Orso (also called Saint-Ours) dedicated to Ursus of Aosta is the pride of the city Aosta.

Once serving as main eastern entrance gates to the city, today it still is in its old outward appearance.
