Cathedral Santa Maria Assunta, Aosta

The Cathedral, built in the 4th century and replaced in the 11th century by a new facade dedicated to the Madonna. It is annexed to the Roman Forum. Inside, the carved 15th-century walnut-wood choir stalls are particularly beautiful. Two mosaics on the floor, dating from the 12th to the 13th centuries, are also notable. Our guide tells us of the secret encrypted messages within the mosaic. During an archaeological dig, the scientists uncovered the original baptismal font which is now under glass.Weiterlesen
