This is the Porta Nigra ( The black gate) in Trier, Germany. Trier is the oldest town in Germany and was established about 16 BC. This gateway was built by the Romans in the 2nd century. In the 12th century a group turned it into a two-story church and it was a church about 700 years. Now it is fairly restored to it former self. It is one of the best preserved early Roman gateways in Europe. Below is a picture of Coral and Elijah in one of the top story window arches.
