Take a tour of Trier Town Square in Germany – part of the World’s Greatest Attractions series by GeoBeats. Trier, Germany is renowned for its history, from its Roman ruins to its Old Town. In the middle of the Old Town is the town square, a bustling market area. Central in the square is the Market Cross, a replica of the oldest cross in Europe. Along the edge of the square are the historic 16th century buildings of Trier. St. Peter's fountain, a richly detailed piece from the 16th century, is another prominent feature. Like most of Trier's Old Town, the town square is reserved for pedestrians.
