The Porta Nigra is the best preserved Roman city gate north of the Alps - an incomparable connection between the ancient past and today's modern city.

The Porta Nigra has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a protected cultural asset under the Hague Convention since 1986.

The Porta Nigra is the landmark of Trier and a clear witness that the Romans were once here. The "Black Gate" is the best preserved Roman city gate in Germany and part of the UNESCO World Heritage. In the building there is a fairly modern multimedia guide with all the information about the gate and the city of Trier.
