    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 old city gate dates from 170 AD, when the Romans liked to build public buildings out of large blocks. The Porta Nigra has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a protected cultural asset under the Hague Convention since 1986.

      Trier celebrated in 1984 the 2000th anniversary of the founding of the city. The old Augusta Treverorum was one of the most important administrative seats of the Roman Empire and most important city of Germany in Roman times.

      But there is an old inscription on the Red House ....
      Ante Romam Treviris stetit annis mille trecentis perstet aeterna pace fruatur. "Trier stood before Rome for thirteen hundred years, may it continue, rejoicing in eternal peace."

        Built from 7,200 stone blocks without mortar, the gate was integrated in the 11th century in a church, the second tower was dismantled. The gate was no longer recognizable.
        In 1804, Napoleon decreed the dismantling of church annexes.
