Palatiolum, Archaeological site and cultural heritage monument in Trier-Pfalzel, Germany.

The Palatiolum complex consists of four wings surrounding an inner courtyard, constructed with thick stone walls and decorated windows with brick arches.

Built around 350 CE during the Roman Empire, the structure transformed into a Benedictine monastery in the 7th century after the imperial court departed.

Twenty-eight rooms featured marble floors, with two spaces containing mosaic decorations that reflected the transition from pagan to Christian imagery.

The site integrates into the modern town center of Trier-Pfalzel, approximately 5 kilometers from the ancient Augusta Treverorum settlement.

A small garrison post at the entrance suggests the original owner held significant imperial status during the Late Roman period.
