Cattedrale di Santa Maria Assunta e San Giovanni Battista

Actually, we wanted to go see Criptoportico forense, but we entered the cathedral instead, and so we discovered a series of hidden treasures: the little museum at the back (with beautiful carved wooden panels), the early Christian church located beneath the floor, the Ottonian frescoes from the 11th century that are now above the ceiling, and a cloister with unusual round/hexagonal columns. All of this was accompanied by the narration of the very kind, knowledgeable and enthusiastic guide of the Cathedral museum (Matteo Del Col). Highly recommended, especially the frescoes! It seems that few people are aware of their existence. It's just a few euros for a 1h+ excursion.

Beautiful Church, Mixed with old and new art and architecture style!!! It is open during week days after 3 p.m. and it offers a great spiritual silence for your prayers and a great atmosphere!!! Really enthusiastic about this church.

11th century cathedral built over 4th century Roman era ruins. The cathedral is enormous and despite being austere and sombre in style does have a side chapel with beautiful stained glass, large paintings of the Stations of the Cross, and beautiful murals (frescoes). Also worth noting the marble altar and wooden choir. On one side a work of art in metalwork - the reliquary containing remains of San Grato. A variety of architectural styles. There is also a museum and crypt which we did not visit and two bell towers undergoing maintenance at the moment. Entry is free and well worth a visit.

We visited this cathedral on the way from Milan to the Mont Blanc tunnel. Beautiful cathedral, definitely worth stopping.

I have a chance to have a mass (Eucharist) here. Thanks GOD. They are renovating some back building. The building itself quite maintained. They have a museum inside the church but it’s closed in the morning. There are few parking lots not so far from the church. Nice to walk around the church.

A beautiful and peaceful cathedral

The Santa Maria Assunta Cathedral is in the very center of cute Aosta. It's very large and took almost 4 centuries to be built, from 11 cent onwards. However, the interiors were pretty underwhelming and disappointing - something you don't expect in Italian Churches. Free to enter

It is a very pretty church. It does close daily for lunch. Worth a visit. Free entry.
