Trier discovers hidden treasures: New city register reveals secrets!

Trier, Deutschland - The fascination for the ancient treasures of Trier, especially the breathtaking Porta Nigra, gains a new dimension! The director of the Rheinische Landesmuseum, Marcus Reuter, recently presented a new archaeological city register that was developed in cooperation with the city. This digital treasure map promises to bring hidden treasures and relics of the Roman past to light. According to Volksfreund , the soil of the city could hide much more history than before. This could have significant impulses for urban development and the inheritance of the region.

The historic Porta Nigra

The Porta Nigra, a masterpiece of Roman architecture, was built from gray sandstone after 170 AD and forms northern access to ancient city with its impressive towers. Unfortunately, the construction remained incomplete, which, however, did not stand in the way of use as a city gate until the end of the Roman era in 395 AD. Over the centuries, the Porta Nigra experienced numerous changes and used its walls for both religious and urban purposes. It was part of a system of four goals, including the Porta Alba in the east and the Porta Media in the south. Today only the Porta Nigra, which was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1986, has been preserved as a symbol of Trier's meaning in the Roman Empire and its unique architecture, such as Wikipedia

In modern times, the Porta Nigra is admired by tourists and locals alike and remains not only an important monument, but also a cultural center. In the summer months, visitors can experience guided tours with a guide dressed as a centurio, which leads them through the history of the Roman site. Despite the official closure for cars, it remains a step away from the busy hustle and bustle of the city and is a captivating eye -catcher for everyone.
