Trier - Hauptmarkt

From the Porta Nigra in Trier, Simeonstrasse (pedestrian zone; Dreikönigenhaus, ca. 1230) runs southwest to the Hauptmarkt, with St Gangolf's Church (Late Gothic) and the Steipe (1430-83), the old banqueting house of the city councilors. A little to the west, in Dietrichstrasse, is the Frankenturm (11th C.), one of the earliest surviving dwelling houses in Germany.
