The Porta Praetoria of Regensburg, the northern gate of the former legionary camp from the 2nd century AD, has been largely preserved to this day in the whitewashed wall of the "Bischofshof". It is the tallest upright structure of Roman times in Bavaria.

The remains of the gate had been preserved as initially invisible fixtures in the walls of a brewery building east of the Bishop's Court, built after 1650. Only when the brewery buildings were demolished in 1885 were the considerable remains of the Roman camp gate rediscovered and exposed.
