Porta Inclyta, Roman city gate in Trier, Germany
The Porta Inclyta stood as a defensive gateway structure at one end of the Roman bridge crossing the Moselle River in ancient Trier.
Built in the second century CE, this entrance gate formed part of the Roman city wall system of Augusta Treverorum, the ancient name of Trier.
Medieval chronicles describe the gate's towers and artistic elements, which earned it the Latin name Porta Inclyta, meaning famous gate.
Only foundation remains exist today, with archaeological excavations uncovering evidence on both sides of the Moselle River during the 19th century.
The Hystoria Treverorum of 1050 records that the gate displayed decorative elements of gold and precious stones visible to bridge travelers.
