What's included in Explore Trier a Beautiful City Walk with Audio and GPS Guide
(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
Porta NigraPass-by Only
The Porta Nigra was converted into a double church in the Middle Ages! From the city, there was a staircase leading up to the second floor. On the side, there was a staircase to the third floor. There was a floor over the open middle section. The gate was part of the city wall that ran around Trier and was over six kilometers long. Why was this gate not demolished, like so many buildings from Roman times? That is because in the eleventh century, a hermit, Simeon, lived in the gate as a hermit. This Simeon was later canonized. The place where he had stayed became a place of pilgrimage.
Stadtmuseum SimeonstiftPass-by Only
The Simeonstift is the monastery of the hermit Simeon. The museum has modern exhibition rooms in the old historical core of the building. The collection focuses on the early modern period up to the twentieth century. For example, the museum has the original medieval figures from the main market in Trier and also the original market cross from the year 958
HauptmarktPass-by Only
The pillar where we are now standing with the market cross is a reminder that in 882 AD the Normans stormed Trier, the archbishop decided to move the market square from the river to its current location where the Hauptmarkt is still located today. The pillar used for the cross dates from Roman times and is an old granite column from the Cathedral. The original cross is in the city museum of Trier, Simeonstift. What immediately stands out on this central square is that the houses around the square are mostly half timbered. Half timbering is a construction method for making walls where the supporting structure consists of wooden beams. Half-timbering is a form of timber frame construction. On the market is the market cross from 958. It is a copy, the original can be seen in the Simeonstift museum.
