Trier has the distinction of being the oldest city in Germany, having been continuously settled for more than 2000 years. (Not to be confused with New Trier, Minnesota.)
The Trier Cathedral.
The Constantine Basilica. A spectacular Roman building from the 4th century. Currently an Evangelical Church.
This piece was situated just in front of the pulpit in the Basilica. I was fascinated by it; I must have taken more than 40 photos. It's a space dedicated to silent prayer, with stools situated around it and a place to buy candles. The text is from Matthew 28.20b: "Jesu spricht: Und siehe, ich bin bei euch alle Tage bis an der Welt Ende." [Jesus said, "And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age (ESV)."]
Porta Nigra. "The best preserved Roman structure in Germany." And Napoleon wanted to tear it down.
