Visit Susa

Susa is located 50 km west of Turin, on the main road from Turin to France.

It is a pleasant town, and the main reason it attracts attention is because Susa contains some important Roman ruins.

The most important roman ruins are the Arch of Augustus (and the adjacent Roman baths) and the Roman amphitheatre, and a Roman aqueduct. The amphitheatre is still used today.

More recent, the medieval cathedral in Susa - the cathedral of San Giusto - is a roman style church (formerly part of an abbey) with interesting decorative features and frescoes.

Also explore the streets of medieval buildings clustered around the town centre.

Susa is well placed for exploring the scenic highlights of the so-called Via Lattea (Milky Way) that lie to the west. In Via Lattea unspoiled small villages (and larger resorts) are set in beautiful mountain scenery, close to the border with France.
