Porta Nirga
Trier, Porta Nigra, römisches Stadttor
The Paulin Hotel is situated only a minute from the Porta Nigra. The Porta Nigra (black gate), the famous landmark of the city, was built around 180 AD as a northern city gate and is considered today as the best preserved city gate from antiquity. Next to it you can find the Tourist Information Office, with the pedestrian zone immediately adjacent, where you can comfortably reach Triers main sights by foot. One of the historic monuments in the pedestrian zone are the roman baths on the Viehmarkt, which were discovered in 1987 when excavating an underground car park. These are located inside a protective building with glass facades, designed by the well-known architect Oswald Mathias Ungers.
Trier´s Cathedral
Weinschiff, Dom
Trier Cathedral is just a few minutes’ walk away. It is the oldest Episcopal Church in Germany and houses the Holy Rock, the fragments of the tunic of Jesus Christ. During the last pilgrimage in 1996 about 700,000 pilgrims came to Trier.
The Basilica of Constantin
The second largest church in Trier, the Konstantinbasilika, can be reached on foot in about 10 minutes. It houses the largest room, which has survived from ancient times, with an impressive length of 67 m, 27 m wide and 33 m high. The Kurfürstliches Palais is located practically next to the basilica. Its Rococo wing, together with the adjoining palace garden, offers a magnificent backdrop.
Just a few meters further you will find the Kaiserthermen, a Roman baths complex with underground labyrinthine corridors, built around 300 AD.
