Quart is a town in the Aosta Valley, located a few kilometres east of Aosta along the Dora Baltea River. Set at around 530 metres above sea level, it extends across terraced hillsides cultivated with vineyards and orchards. The settlement is composed of several hamlets spread over the lower slopes, each preserving stone houses and rural buildings that reflect the agricultural traditions of the central valley.
Dominating the area is the Quart Castle, a fortified complex dating from the twelfth century that overlooks the valley from a rocky ridge. The Parish Church of Saint Eustace and several medieval chapels mark the area’s long religious history. Quart is also home to remnants of the Roman road that once linked Aosta with the lower valley. Its location provides easy access to Nus, Fénis, and Aosta, as well as routes leading into the nearby side valleys and mountain trails.
