Trier, Germany

We headed out to Trier, Germany last Saturday - a mere 35 minute drive from Luxembourg City. We had heard there are interesting Roman ruins there, and a bit of shopping to be had. We spent an enjoyable several hours wandering around - in and out of ruins, in and out of shops, having lunch - and the trip was well worth it.

A statue in the square.

I loved this sculpture, which depicts the working trades.

Porta Nigra - so cool! It dates from Roman times, approximately 170 AD.

Another shot of Porta Nigra.

Liebfrauenkirche. The part on the left is from about 1016, the Gothic part on the right is from later

The interior. The reds were incredibly vibrant.

The ceiling.

The baroque west choir ceiling in the older part of the cathedral.

A different church altogether - St. Gangolf.
