Guided tour of Trier

Trier is the oldest city in Germany, founded so long ago that it is 13 years older than... see+ Rome. Trier's age is not its only claim to fame. It is best known for having been one of the seats of Roman imperial power, one of the great centers of early Christianity, and also a dynamic medieval city. The city has preserved precious architectural traces from all three periods. Continuation of the city tour by foot. Discover (external visits)the amphitheater: in terms of size, it is the tenth largest in the entire Roman Empire. It could accommodate 30,000 spectators. Then there are the imperial baths, which had a sumptuous interior: marble cladding on the walls and floors, mosaics, murals, and statues. The baths formed a living area measuring 140m x 250m. Continue to the Roman basilica. Built around 310, the Constantinian basilica has been in continuous use ever since. From the outset, the building was imposing: 67m long, 27m wide and 30m high.
