Trier, Germany

Trier, Germany sits on the Luxembourg border north of France in the state of Rheinland-Palatinate. The summer of 1986 was my second time visiting the city. Originally founded 1300 years before Rome and in the 1st century BC the Roman Empire took over. The first picture is the Porta Nigra (or Black Gate) was built by the Romans between 186 and 200 AD. The second picture is McDonalds (which is still there) along Jakobstrasse (Jacobs Street) at Market Plaza. The gateway is also around the Market Plaza. Next, the Cathedral of Trier, Built in 329-346 AD, and then destroyed by the Franks. Rebuilt in 882 and added to in 1196. St Peter's fountain sits in Market Plaza, also. And the last picture is a kabinenbahn (cable car) across the Mosel River.
