Issogne — Castello
Aosta Valley
Unlike the defensive hilltop fortresses elsewhere in the valley, Issogne's castle was built as a comfortable Renaissance residence for the Challant family, its courtyard decorated with vivid frescoes of everyday medieval life around a wrought-iron pomegranate-tree fountain. The surrounding village lanes are flat and easy.
