Aula Palatina

We enjoyed a wonderful day last year at the ancient Roman City of Trier Roman Baths and Ancient Roman Entrance into Trier, and then here, the Basilica of Constantine also known as the Aula Palatina. It is a Roman Palace and Basilica that was commissioned by the emperor Constantine I at the beginning of the 4th century. Ancient Roman ruins are also here to tour and are quite amazing. And was very entertaining to sit in the nearby stands and watch the modern day Gladiators practice fighting each other.

The church was close when we visited so I really couldn't say much aside from the fact that it is quite interesting architecture for a church. Never miss the nearby garden. Perfect for waking, picnic, or a quick rest on the benches after a long walk around the city.

Nice Dom with calm and well maintain park nearby. Must see attraction in Trier.

Very big and amazing space. Free entrance.

The Basilica of Constantine, originally an auditorium and throne room, was part of the palace that Constantine the Great had built in Trier in 305-311. The simple, almost austere building nowadays houses the largest covered area of Roman antiquity. After the fall of the Roman Empire, the building had various functions until, in the 19th century, after a thorough restoration, it became a church for the Evangelical Lutheran community. The interior has little adornment, an impressive three-part organ hangs above the entrance, but the enormous size of the room is definitely a reason to walk in.
