Trier, Germany

When my mom was visiting in October, 

we took her to Trier, Germany for a day trip. 

J & I had been before, three years earlier, 

and loved the town,

so we wanted to share that with my mom.

Trier is the oldest city in Germany

It was built in 16 B.C. 

It's rich in culture and history and is a 

beautiful little town.

They have a fantastic walkplatz area full of 

shops and eateries, as well as 

the two most visited historic attractions:

The Porta Nigra & The Cathedral of Trier.

The Cathedral of Trier is the oldest cathedral in Germany.

It has been built and destroyed many times, but

it hasnt lost it's beauty.

The outside of this cathedral is gorgeous and

 one of my favorite cathedrals in Europe. 

It looks like a fairy tale castle.

Dome inside

A shroud that Jesus supposedly wore is kept here in a vault

The details and work never fail to amaze me

A better view

The look of this is very European, very Roman.
I love it! 

Graves in the courtyard

The Porta Nigra is Germany's oldest defensive structure, 

built in 180. 

I am so amazed and impressed that it has 

survived this long and still looks great!
