Trier

Built around a crossing of the Moselle, Trier grew into one of Germany’s oldest cities. Founded by the Romans as Augusta Treverorum, it became an imperial residence in the late Roman Empire, leaving an exceptional group of monuments now recognised by UNESCO. The Porta Nigra, a vast Roman city gate, remains its defining survivor, while the Aula Palatina was built as Constantine’s imperial audience hall. Trier Cathedral, with origins in late antiquity, adds another layer to the compact historic centre. The Moselle valley also connects the city with Rhineland-Palatinate’s wine-growing country.
