Cathedral and Forensic Cryptoporticus Tour in Aosta
On this tour, I will accompany you to discover two of the most important artistic and architectural testimonies of the city. Our first stop will be the Forensic Cryptoporticus, one of the best-preserved Roman buildings in Aosta and one of the earliest architectural constructions dating back to the foundation of the city. We will study its very special structure together. The Cryptoporticus is horseshoe-shaped, with a double gallery and barrel vaults supported by arches in local limestone. It encloses the sacred area with two twin temples. During our visit, we will observe its details and reveal its secrets to you. It will be a very interesting tour.
