Ru Prévôt

Highlight • Structure

Abbé Henry dedicates a chapter to the four ru of Saint-Christophe: the Ru Baudin built in 1287 by Jacques of Quart, the even older Ru Champapon, the Ru Prévôt which his brother the provost Henri of Quart had excavated around 1300 and the Ru Pontpillar (Sic) or Piàru excavated at the beginning of the 15th century thanks to the initiative of the parish priests of Roisan, Sant'Orso, Saint-Christophe and Quart who obtained authorization to build on it from the Duke of Savoy on 8 December 1409 the Ru Prévôt another canal from Valpelline to Quart. In 1528 the users of the Ru Prévôt reported that for some time the repairs to which the lord was required had not been carried out, or if they had been carried out, they were carried out late, after the harvest, when they were no longer of any use. They therefore asked Duke Charles of Savoy for authorization to independently provide for the maintenance of the ru with the exception of the great arch of Porossan. The duke authorized those entitled to directly provide for the maintenance of the ru which in the document is estimated at two or three thousand days of work per year.

Torre dei Balivi

Highlight • Historical Site

The Torre dei Balivi, also known as Tour du bailliage, is one of Aosta's medieval architectural treasures.
The tower, also known as Tour Cornière in French, was mentioned as early as 1192.
In the 12th century it became the property of the local noble family De Palais (or De Palacio), who used it for their own purposes.
Later, in the 13th century, it was transferred to the Count of Savoy and served as the seat of the bailiff (in old French, Bailly).
The tower was expanded and remodeled in the 15th and 16th centuries, with new parts added to meet growing needs.
In the 17th century it was used as a prison and courthouse.
Since 2014, the tower has housed the Istituto Musicale Pareggiato della Valle d'Aosta.

Porta Pretoria (Aosta)

Highlight • Historical Site

The Porta Praetoria was one of the main gates of the Roman city of Augusta Praetoria Salassorum, as Aosta was called in ancient Rome. It served as the main access to the city from the side of the Roman road that crossed the Aosta Valley. The location of the gate is strategic as it allowed the connection between the Roman Forum and the Roman Theater.
