Aosta - Cathedral

In the center of Aosta, at the point where the main roads of the Roman fort crossed, is the Piazza Chanoux with the Town Hall. A little way northwest stands the cathedral, erected in the 11th and 12th centuries; the present church originates from the 15th-16th centuries. It has a Renaissance facade (c. 1526) with a classical porch, added in 1837. The treasury houses the ivory diptych of the Emperor Honorius (406). On the west side of the cathedral are remains of the Roman forum.
