Germany: Porta Nigra in Trier

On 25th September I got two postcards: one from Germany and one from Spain.

The card from Germany shows the Porta Nigra in Trier. The Porta Nigra was built in 170 as city gate for the Roman city of Augusta Treverorum. Today it is still well-preserved and is the largest Roman city gate north of the Alps. In 2017 it was shown on a German 2€ coin. As one of the Roman Monuments in Trier it is since 1986 on the UNESCO World Heritage List.
