Trier is the oldest city in Germany. The old gate shown in this picture dates back to the end of the second century. The entire city was walled, and this was the main entrance.
Trier was founded by the Romans as early as 17 BC, and was the city from which that area of the Roman empire was governed.
The building shown above along with 7 others in Trier is named by UNESCO as world cultural heritage sites.
Just imagine, a building almost 2 thousand years old and still standing. I doubt if the buildings we build today will still be standing in 200 years!!!
