The Porta Nigra (translation: "black gate") is an ancient Roman tower, built around 180 A.D., as the point of entry into the Roman city of Augusta Treverorum, which is modern day Trier, Germany.
Trier claims, with legitimacy, to be the oldest city in Germany. It is located on the banks of the Moselle River, which means it indisputably has the best wines in all of Germany. What a surprise that an Old Roman settlement in Germany became Germany's preeminent wine producer. All guarded by the Porta Nigra.
