Germany's Oldest City!
Famous Landmark: Porta Nigra, the Roman city gate from the 2nd century AD. In ancient times, portcullises were let down to prevent foregin invaders from coming into the city.
Medieval Market & Trier Cathedral are located in the main square. The cathedral dates back to the 4th century! According to legend, the Robe of Christ is enshrined here (but can only be viewed on special occasions)
The Basilika/Roman Imperial Throne Room was the former audience hall of the Roman Emperor Constantine.
Palace Garden was formerly the residence of the Electoral Prince. You can take a walk through the blooming gardens through to the Imperial bath, built centuries ago as a bath for the Romans.
Karl Marx was born in Trier, 8 miles from the Luxembourg border, and was prompted to consider economic reasons for social conditions when seeing the abject poverty of winegrowers on the Luxembourg Moselle (a great contrast with today's economic success of Luxembourg!)
