It is designated as part of the Roman Monuments, Cathedral of St. Peter and Church of Our Lady in Trier UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is much smaller but has some amazing stained glass windows and a peaceful and serene atmosphere. Do stop here and have a look as the architecture is quite interesting and it's a beautiful church.

Built in AD 310, the Constantine Basilica was commissioned by Constantine the Great as part of a…read morepalace complex. The Trier Augusta Treverorum, as it was called at the time, was the capital of Rome's Western Empire and the home of Constantine the Great. The Emperor Constantine ruled the Roman Emperor during the Period between (AD 306-337). It was in the 19th century under Frederick William IV that the Basilica of Constantine was restored to it's original Roman State. Since that time the basilica has undergone expansion, rebuilding after the bombings in 1944 and refurbishing up until the present. It is free to enter the basilica which has a total length of 67 meters, 26 meters wide and 33 meters tall. The interior is plain brick as the restoration after the 1944 bombings did not replace the interior wall embellishments. Despite this fact it is still intellectually satisfying to witness a Roman Basilica circa (AD 310) and that is why it has become a UNESCO World Heritage site. There is a small plastering on the exterior which demonstrates how the exterior once appeared.

The Kurfurstliches Palais was the former residence of the Archbishops and Electors of Trier from…read morethe 16th-18th centuries. The building was originally part of the Ancient Imperial Palace that was used by Constantine the Great in around AD 310. The palace is still attached to the Basilica of Constantine which also dates to (AD 310). Today the palace houses various offices of the federal government and occasionally held classical music concerts. The concerts are performed in the Grand Chamber of the rococo south wing. Entrance is not permitted into the Palace, although the attached Basilica of Constantine is open and free to the public. Although the palace is not open, you are permitted to walk about outside and into the gardens since the early 20th century. The south wing of the palace boasts Rococo architecture designed by Johannes Seiz. The palace is fundamentally pink in color with gilded gold adornments and trim. There are numerous statues by Ferdinand Tietz displaying figures of Greek mythology, cherubs, and some strikingly out of place figures mostly females. The gardens are enclosed by clipped hedges. A pebbled walkway cuts through the gardens. The gardens are most attractive during the summer when flower arrangements are in full bloom and the garden fountain is in operation. The Furfurstliches Palais is close to the Roman Imperial Baths and Stern Street will take you to Hauptmarket and Porto Nigra (an ancient Roman Gate). The Palais is a nice side attraction to your visit to Old Town Trier but not a major focal point, .and thus a 3 star rating.
