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 Haupt Market dating to the 10th century is a square that has numerous and varied architectural buildings reminisce of medieval times. The cobblestone streets are pedestrian friendly. The Dom Saint Gangolp, the Archbishop's Cathedral, the entrance to the Judengasse (Jewish Quarter), half-timber houses and Fachwerk houses are all in this area.. The Petrusbrunnen (Saint Perter's Fountain (AD 1596) has a statue of St. Peter on top, cherubs spouting water, various animals and gold gilding trim. Also look for the Market Cross (958) erected after the Viking invasion. Shopping and outdoor cafes line the square as well. Locals bring their artisan crafts, produce and local wines. I had a few glasses of a dry white Riesling wine which was to my liking. Riesling wines predominate in this area of Germany. Souvenir shops are also available. Just down the street is the Porto Nigra, one of four entrance gates built by in Romans times and a historical museum. The Christmas market is a major event of the year.
