The history of the Dr Nicola Pharmacy is affected by the passion for the world of nature already transmitted by the grandfather Prof. Dr Camillo Nicola who in the 30s studied the opportunity to cultivate medicinal plants. His writings are still topical.

Since 2005, Dr. Andrea Nicola develops a series of phytocosmetics and natural supplements, based on the use of alpine plants and herbs with great therapeutic properties.

The exhibition venue, accessible to the disabled, is housed inside the small church dedicated to San Lorenzo, which was the parish seat of the neighborhood until 1793.

The Church is today the privileged venue for exhibitions dedicated to Aosta Valley craftsmanship and local artistic production.

The exhibition space, which is accessed from the modern glass structure, constituting the main body of the regional library, occupies a site of great archaeological interest, where you can admire the traces of later arrangements: the Porta Decumana from the Roman era, the residence of the noble Boniface Festaz († 1682), the Hospice of Charity.

Sita al piano terreno del palazzo settecentesco dell’Hôtel des Etats, la sala accoglie esposizioni organizzate dall’Amministrazione regionale.

The upper floors of the Archeological Museum house prestigious exhibitions.

The building, known as ex Challand Barracks, previously a Convent of the Visitandines, was founded in 1633 by the marquis Pierre-Philibert Roncas (son of the builder of the palace) and by his wife Emérentienne de Vaudan. Towards the half of the 18th century the monastery assumed the present appearance. The paintings on the façade (of the 19th century) reproduce the coat of arms of the Savoy House (up above) and the portraits of the main characters of the Challant House, who distinguished themselves for their military merits (from left to right, from up to down: Boniface Marshal of Savoy, Claude Governor of the Aosta Valley and Ivrea, Ibleto General Captain of Piedmont and René Marshal of Savoy).

The ground floor is seat of the Regional Archeological Museum. A visiting route is prepared in the underground of the Archeological Museum, where the excavations carried out before the renovation of the building, brought to light the area occupied by the Porta Principalis Sinistra (‘Major Left Door’) and by a stretch of the wall perimeter.

The upper floors of the Archaeological Museum host prestigious exhibitions.

A bookshop at the entrance sells the catalogues of all art exhibitions hosted over the years by the Ministry for Education and Culture of the Valle d’Aosta autonomous Region.

Founded around the year one thousand by the Benedictines of the San Benigno di Fruttuaria abbey in Piemone, then passed to the religious of the Great Saint Bernard since the 12th century, the priory of Saint-Bénin was transformed into a College of Higher Studies by Pope Clement VIII with a bubble of 1597.

For more than three centuries the “Collège Saint-Bénin” nourished the local culture and formed the secular ruling class of the Aosta Valley.
According to tradition, it was from the Benedictines of Saint-Benin that Sant’Anselmo learned the first rudiments of culture and cultivated the vocation that would lead him to the primatial seat of Canterbury.

Today the vast chapel of the Collegio, rebuilt from 1676 to 1680 next to the Romanesque bell tower with mullioned windows of the XII century, is used as a prestigious venue for exhibitions dedicated to national and international modern and contemporary art.

Costruita nel 1987 per ospitare varie manifestazioni. In autunno ospita le fasi finali delle “batailles des reines”.
