Synopsis

The author writes knowledgeably about historical backgrounds, mentality and peculiarities, and also leads the reader behind the scenes and into the exciting underworld of the Moselle metropolis. The large-format work is illustrated with 150 magnificent panoramas, partly from unusual angles. The former imperial city of the Roman Empire offers proud ten monuments belonging to the UNESCO World Heritage Site. These include the Porta Nigra, the Cathedral, the Basilica of Constantine, three large thermal facilities, the amphitheatre and the Roman bridge over the Moselle. Shiny medieval palaces and buildings testify to the importance of the city as the seat of electors and bishops. The citizenship had their share in the development of the still thriving city with its sights and evocative museums and libraries. As an attraction for numerous visitors from all over the world, the university city has still maintained its cosy, Moselle flair with a high quality of life. A diverse culinary offer, numerous events and a large cultural offer are part of Trier such as wine, wine bars and outdoor terraces.
