Ruin Tourist Spot

• ©

Walk the centuries-old halls of Criptoportico Forense, probably built to serve as a covered market or a walkway. The structure features three underground tunnels circumscribing a rectangular area--the entire complex once supported the forum of Augusta Praetoria, a city founded in 25 BCE by Emperor Octavian. Above the underground vaults once stood two temples dedicated to various Roman gods. Make Criptoportico Forense a part of your Aosta vacation plans using our Aosta trip planner .

  There are roman ruins like this all over Aosta. If you like this sort of thing then there is definitely a day to had exploring them, no doubt with some coffee stops on route.

  Very interesting. There is a long, slightly repetitive film that shows with CGI what the whole forum area looked like. Very cool - great in the hot middle of the day. YOU CANNOT BUY A TICKET HERE - you have to get it from the museum nearby, or one of other places that can be visited on a combined ticket.
