This rococo style palace was the residence of the Archbishop and Electors of Trier. It served this function from the 16th century until the late 18th century. It now houses various offices of the federal government and often hosts classical music concerts. The base structure is renaissance, or neoclassical.

There are some elements of Baroque architecture. But the playful ornamentation hint at an overall rococo style. When the French revolutionary armies conquered half of the Rhineland, they used this palace as barracks for their soldiers. Today most of the palace is in use as governmental offices.

Classical music concerts are performed in the Grand Chamber of the rococo south wing and the courtyard. Porta Nigra Roman Gate The black gate. This is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. And for good reason.

In Roman times, the Porta Nigra was part of a system of four city gates, one of which stood at each side of the roughly rectangular Roman city. Only one of these four ancient city gates survived the passage of time: this is it, the spectacular Porta Nigra. Imagine the gate as a castle.

A building outside of the city walls with a long narrow street leading up to the city. The gate was filled with soldiers protecting the walled city. All passengers, all trade had to first enter the gate before being allowed to walk the long street to the city wall.

Sadly, In the early Middle Ages the Roman city gates were no longer used for their original function and their stones were taken and reused for other buildings Market Square The city’s living room. Medieval society met each other here, on this square. The people bartering goods on the market itself.

The noblemen and elites of the great city of Trier meeting in the building called “Steipe”. Thi is the “Steipe” building. From the end of March to early November, the wine stall at the Hauptmarkt is the meeting place for tourists and locals alike.

Each week from Monday to Thursday and from Friday to Sunday a different winery from Trier and the surrounding region showcases its best drops. Nowhere else is it easier to engage in conversation with winemakers and wine-lovers. Cathedral

Trier holds the reputed Holy Robe of Jesus, a seamless garment believed to be worn by Christ during the crucifixion. It is the oldest church in Germany and the largest religious structure in Trier, notable for its long life span and grand design.

The central part of the nave was built of Roman brick in the early fourth century, resulting in a cathedral that was added onto gradually in different eras. According to certain sources, the cathedral was commissioned by Emperor Constantine the Great and built on top of a palace of Saint Helen, his mother. Aula Palatina The largest hall from antiquity.

Built in the year 300 AD. Constantine the Great lived in Trier in Gall for six years and under his regency it rose to become the second most important city in the Roman Empire. This hall was the largest heated hall. The basilica was originally part of a palace complex and was not a free-standing building.

The Aula Palatina was designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1986. Roman Baths The Imperial Baths are called “Kaiserthermen” in German. The complex was constructed in the early 4th century AD, during the reign of Constantine I. Roman Amphitheatre Trier and its amphitheatre resembled many Roman cities of its time. Many gladiatorial contests occurred here.
