Lying outside the entry door on the church’s south side, they’ll also discover a huge granite pillar from the emperor’s church. Another “must-see” is the Constantine Basilica, the former rectangular throne hall of Roman Emperor Constantine, just a few blocks from the Cathedral. Now a stark church, this structure is 220 feet long, 90 feet wide and 98 feet high. It’s supposedly the largest surviving single-room structure anywhere in the former Roman world. For a total contrast in architecture, your clients might walk to the nearby 17th- and 18th-century Electoral Palace with its bright pink rococo-styled architecture and attractive gardens. The palace is also near the city’s famed Roman Archaeological Museum, adjacent to a well-preserved medieval city wall. The museum boasts artifacts, funerary monuments and mosaics retrieved from Trier’s Roman sites, along with a large model of Roman Trier. Another highlight is the collection of 2,300 rare Roman gold coins, likely hidden away for a rainy day by a wealthy Roman citizen.

While visitors will undoubtedly “ooh” and “aah” at the towering above-ground structures, be sure to advise them to head underground to the catacombs. If clients are up for a somewhat longer walk, suggest they grab a map and head uphill from the baths to what remains of the Roman amphitheater; it seated more than 20,000 in its heyday and was the site of gladiator and wild animal fights. While most ornamental masonry is long gone, this first- and second-century site is well maintained with its former seating areas replaced with grass. Some underground tunnels remain for visitors to explore. Your clients might also visit the Karl Marx museum, the house where the founder of scientific socialism was born in 1818. The Mosel, too, is a highlight; because riverboats dock along its banks, cruise guests often stroll the tree-lined, grassy areas adjacent to the river. Depending on where the vessel docks, clients might view the CONTINUED ON PAGE 36 Interested? Request #009. 34 | TravelAgent March 2, 2009 http://www.cruising.org http://www.cruising.org
