A gorgeous church located next to the towering Trier Dom. The Liebfrauenkirche is, along with the…read moreCathedral of Magdeburg (reportedly begun in 1209, but finished after the Liebfrauenkirche) the earliest Gothic church in Germany and falls into the architectural tradition of the French Gothic cathedrals. 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.

This museum has some very good religious artifacts in it, many dating back to the Roman period, including some frescoes that were destroyed in the bombings during WWII, which were reconstructed from over 40,000 pieces. All the exhibits and films are in German, however, so if you cannot read German, you will have to rely upon visual cues alone as we did. Even so, you can still get a lot out of these exhibits, especialy if you appreciate (religious) art. Admission is 3.5 euros. I'd give this a higher rating if they had something--anything--in English.

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.
