One of the wealths of Aosta is constituted by the castles scattered on its territory. The area has a big historical value and it has fascinated many people in the past and nowadays. As soon as the visitor enter the region, he remains astonished by looking at the imposing fortification of Bard that blocks the access to the valley and that soon will be entirely visitabile through one singular net of funiculars. The castle of Verres dominates the valley from one depositor and from the other one It stands out the wide castle of Issogne, the residence of the Challant Dukes, the gentlemen of Valle d'Aosta. Going up on the hills the visitor can easily arrive to the castle of Fenis, before Aosta, that with its many towers and merlatures remembers fairy tales' castles. But it is not all, raising the eyes towards the rocks slopes that encircle the Dora river basin, the visitor can admire many other fortifications, ready to defend the territory. But the places we cited are just a little part of what you will find going there. Every place has its own particular characteristics, its own history and, like Fenis, a famous ghost too. Moreover, the beauty of the landscape, the acceptance of the citizens, and the many handicraft fairs will give the tourist a wonderful vacation.
