During Roman times an agreement was made between Italy and France to construct a road that ran through Susa Valley and Cole de Montgenevre connecting the two countries. It was called Via Francigena, a pilgrim path that led all the way to Rome! It was used by many and sacred buildings were built along the way to accommodate them such as the Novalesa Abbey and the Sacra di San Michele Abbey.

Visit the beautiful town of Susa, located in the heart of the Valley. It was a prosperous place thanks to the superb network of roads leading to and from it as well as the large numbers of people that passed through it on their travels to southern Italy.

Sights worth seeing here include the Arch of Augustus, the Susa Cathedral, the Castle of Marquise Adelaide and the interesting archaeological area of Piazza Savoia.
