The Bard fort is a fortified complex 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 abandonment, the fort has been totally restored with interventions inspired by conservative recovery: it was opened to visitors in January 2006. It currently hosts exhibitions of ancient, modern, contemporary art and photography. The fort is also home to three permanent itineraries: The Alps museum, Boys' Alps, The prisons, and The Fort museum. In the main internal courtyard musical and theatrical performances take place in the summer. In addition to educational activities, the Fort hosts original programs such as The Colloquiums of the Bard Fort, Napoleonica, Meteolab, as well as sporting events such as the MonterosaWalserUltraTrail and Forteight. The Forte is equipped with a cafeteria, restaurant, event rooms, multimedia conference rooms, library, info lounge, wifi in many areas; it also houses a hotel. Its builder was Antonio Francesco Olivero. The project lasted 8 years (1830-1838).
