Tower of the Leper

Local name: Torre del Lebbroso

The leper's tower built on the ruins of the Roman tower that was part of the city walls. Its present name comes from the story of a leper who was imprisoned here together with his sister in order to avoid contamination of the city. The famous novel "Le lépreux de la Cité d'Aoste" was later written on this basis.
