Trier, Germany
Trier is a historic city in west central Germany, just six miles from the Luxembourg border and 120 miles SW of Frankfurt.
Trier is Germany's oldest city. Legend has it that in 2000 BC the Assyrians established a colony here. The Roman colony of Augusta Treverorum (Trier) was founded by Augustus in 16 BC. Trier became a favored residence of several Roman emperors, including Constantine the Great, the first Christian emperor. The cathedral Constantine built in Trier in 326 AD is Germany's oldest. After destruction by Germanic tribes in the 5th century, the great city of Trier became a small town.
Trier's market square (Hauptmarkt) is one of the nicest in Germany, filled with fruit stands, flowers, painted facades, and fountains. Catholic pilgrims still come to Trier in large numbers to honor the relic of the Holy Robe at the Dom St. Peter and the tomb of St. Matthias in the Benedictine church named for him.

we were there in Trier on 1 January 2012. The sity is stunning. Stumbled on the end of Mass in a church. Was treated to the German version of Adeste Fideles. In the courtyard outside, immediately after Mass, there were musicians playing church music from the church balcony. It was magic!
