NomadGoatAn iconic Roman city gate in Trier, Germany, Porta Nigra. The largest remaining Roman city gate north of the Alps.
Built around 170 AD, during the reign of Emperor Marcus Aurelius, as part of the city walls for Augusta Treverorum-Roman Trier.
Only one gate out of four remains and is remarkably well preserved. Built from the sandstone and blackened by weather and time.
