Church Square

An interesting architectural feature of the church of Sant'Orso is the portico in front of the entrance. In the past, it was not a simple embellishment or shelter from the weather, it had a specific liturgical function. It was known in Valle d'Aosta churches as the "wedding porch" because the rites preceding the wedding took place under its shelter, and it was sometimes also used for teaching catechism.
