Castello di Cly, Saint-Denis
Aosta Valley
Cly was a large early-medieval curtain-wall castle, now a romantic ruin of tumbled walls, a square keep and a chapel spread over a grassy spur. A short walk from Saint-Denis through the Muscat vineyards reaches it, with a wide view over the central valley and the Emilius group.
