We went to the waterfalls on a damp Sunday morning, we followed a path to the waterfalls and ended up climbing up the mountainside to get a better view from the bridge which is above the main waterfall. We continued on the marked path which luckily took us to a nearby lane which we followed back down to the village, personally I didn’t fancy trying to navigate our way back down the rocks we had climbed up especially as they were damp. You definitely need suitable footwear if you intend trying to see the best of the waterfalls and the stunning views over the valley from above them.

The Aostan Roman Theatre stands out for its straight southern facade measuring 22 meters in height. Its majesty is punctuated by a series of buttresses and arches and is lightened by three orders of windows with different width. The masonry is characterized by large rectangular blocks of conglomerate and of local limestone. This suggestive part was originally longer than 60 m. The east and west sides were about 38 m long. The cavea is easily recognisable, as a semicircular structure where the public sat. Only the last six steps remain visible, in addition to the two, lower and wider, where the most important people used to sit. The radial substructures on which laid the rest of the terraces are still in their original place. The stage was located in front of the cavea, of which only the foundations are still visible. Small rooms behind served as dressing rooms for the actors, while the sides of the stage were used as deposits for equipment. The entire structure was then completed by arcades that stood against the perimeter wall on the shorter sides. The theatre was not built at the same time when the city was founded (25 BC), but rather a few decades later, in the Julio-Claudian era, as some previous buildings were found in this very area.
Very handy if you've just come through the tunnel or across the pass from Switzerland, Aosta is a nice little town with several very interesting things to see. Definitely worth stopping here. The Roman theatre has some well-preserved parts, and is a must-see for anyone interested in that era. Easily accessible from the main street.
