It is very interesting and amazing to ready about the history of this gate, that survived the times because it was turned into a church.

Trier is a beautiful little town and Porta Nigra is its greatest landmark. It is worth a visit but it is not the place to be in all day. A couple of hours is enough to visit most of Trier, take some pictures and head off to somewhere else.
