---~@ Trier, Germany @~---

also one of the oldest town here in Germany. Founded by the Emperor Augusta in 16 BC as Augusta Trevevorum. the town, which also the birthplace of Karl Marx, has a rich architectural heritage.

almost 2 hrs drive from Koln.

The magnificent Porta Nigra (the black gate) erected in the 2 nd century, gigantic Roman gateway into Trier. the oldest german defensive structure, called as the black gate because of the colour of its weathered stone.
