Castello Gamba
An early 20th-century castle villa that now houses the Aosta Valley's modern and contemporary art museum. Its gardens offer views over the valley.
Castello Gamba was built in 1911 as a castle-style villa in a neo-medieval style, surrounded by extensive gardens. It now houses the Regional Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, which holds about 1,000 Italian paintings, sculptures and photographs from the late 19th century to the present. Artists represented include Casorati and de Chirico. The castle sits on a hillside above the town of Châtillon, about 25 km from Aosta, and can be combined with Fénis Castle or Saint-Vincent on the same day.
