Entrance to the Amphitheatre

As part of our trip to Germany, we visited Trier, a city on the banks of Moselle River, near the border with Luxembourg. Considered to be the oldest city in Germany, Trier is known for its well-preserved Roman and medieval buildings.

Here’s some pictures of the Roman Amphitheatre.
