The Forte of Bard is a fortified complex that was rebuilt in the 19th century by the House of Savoy on the rock overlooking the village of Bard, in the Aosta Valley.
After a long period of neglect, the fort has been totally restored with interventions inspired by design and conservative restoration.
It was opened to visitors in January 2006. It currently hosts exhibitions of ancient, modern, contemporary and photography art.
The Fort is also home to three permanent itineraries: The Museum of the Alps, the Children's Alps and The Prisons, as well as a fourth in progress (Il museo del Forte).
