View Full Version : Porta Nigra | Trier, Germany
LuckyLuke April 6th, 2005, 04:43 AM From Wikipedia,
The Porta Nigra (black gate) in Trier, Germany, is a large Roman gatehouse with two four-storied towers, projecting as near semi-circles on the outer side. The structure is largely of grey sandstone, and was built between 180 and 200. In the Middle Ages, the building was used as a church, one of the towers being adapted to contain an apse.

LuckyLuke April 6th, 2005, 04:45 AM I give it a 9.5 because it's 1800 years old and it still looks nice!

Tazmaniadevil April 6th, 2005, 06:57 AM 7.5 I've seen it in person and I just don't like the lack of symmetry. The uneven towers ruin the look for me. Great building besides that.

An amazingly elegant piece of architecture. Well proportioned and richly detailed. That's something the Chinese still can't accomplish today, 2000 years later.

goodmood10 December 20th, 2006, 02:07 PM only the fact that it's still standing after so much time gives it at least 9.0 points , i give it 9.5
erbse December 26th, 2006, 12:12 AM I think that they should'nt clean out the Porta Nigra... That would only disturb the beautifully old Look. :)
Sure a 10/10 for me, because I was there and it looks monumental, although is not that huge. ;)

KK July 30th, 2007, 07:38 PM Such a shame that everything around it is far more modern (mainly due to bombings). This way it looks a bit out of it's place. I visited Trier a couple of weeks ago, I expected to see a lot more architecture from ancient times or middle ages. It was a bit dissapointing to me.
