Porte Saint-André

Erinnert an die Porta Nigra in Trier

Die Porte Saint André ist ein gut erhaltenes römisches Stadttor, das mich spontan an die Porta Nigra in Trier erinnert.

Gut erhalten !

Bei dem gut erhaltenen Stadttor erreichten die Straßen aus Langes und Besancon Autun. Es ist eines der vier Tore, die gemeinsam mit 54 halbrunden Türmen die gallorömishe Befestigung bildeten.

Worth a stop to touch history

Drove past it before realising what it was. Turned round and parked across the road from it. Spectacular to see such a preserved Roman gate.

Surprisingly well preserved

This old Roman city gate reminded us of the one in inTrier. Though much has been altered through the ages, the core is still intact.

Wheres the signage

Ooops drove past it.. good job i have excellent peripheral vision.. found somewhere to park just up from the of outside the attached church and explored. Nice to visit a standing Roman artefact. Well...
