Weekend trip to Trier, the oldest city in Germany

Well, I am staying in lodging at Spangdahlem, for appointments in the morning and a briefing in the afternoon.  So, I am going to take this time to post some of my pictures from Trier.  Trier is the oldest city in Germany.  It was first city established by the Romans Under Julius Ceasar in around 58 - 50 BC.

This beautiful statue is high on a mountain, overlooking a cemetery.

Isn't this beautiful?  It was on a street corner.

This was so pretty, on the side of the street when entering Trier.

Porta Nigra

 

Der Dom 

The doors Der Dom - Reminds me of the doors at the Cathedral! 

This is part of the wall that went around all the city.

The Constantine Basilica built around 300 A.D.

The Amphitheater was built in in the year 100 AD.

This is where they kept the animals, underground at the Amphitheater

The Roman Bridge is an ancient structure in Trier, Germany, over the Mosel. It is the oldest standing bridge in the country. The nine bridge pillars date from the 2nd century AD. The upper part was renewed twice, in the early 12th and in the early 18th century, after suffering destruction in war.

It is so awesome, there is a crucifix built on the side of the bridge.

These are all vineyards around Trier on the Mosel River.
They were everywhere you looked, all along the sides of the Autobahn.
This area is one of the largest wine producing areas in Germany.
