Top Attractions in Aosta
💡 Walk through the central arch and look up at the intricate stonework. The gate is also the start of the pedestrianised Via Porta Pretoria – great for a morning stroll.
💡 Stand under the central arch at midday — the light hits the Roman inscription on the keystone. The gate connects to the Decumanus Maximus, the main Roman street, still lined with shops.
💡 Stand in the middle of the courtyard and look up—the stonework is original. The adjacent Via Porta Praetoria has cheap bakeries for a snack.
💡 Walk through at night when the arches are lit; you can see the Roman road level is about 1.5 metres below the modern street. No entry fee as it is always open.
💡 Check the cloister behind the church; it's often unlocked and has beautiful carved capitals. Leave a small donation if you use the audio guide app.
💡 Walk through the gate and follow the wall path along Via San Anselmo for a free self-guided Roman tour.
💡 Check the crypt beneath the altar—it has 11th-century frescoes. The treasury costs €5 but skip it unless you're keen on reliquaries.
💡 Go in the late afternoon when the low sun lights up the arches; the entrance is in the crypt of the cathedral, so it can be easy to miss. No ticket needed.
