UNESCO World Heritage
Since 1986, Trier's Roman monuments, the Dom St. Peter (St. Peter's Cathedral), and the Liebfrauenkirche (Church of Our Lady) have been listed together as a UNESCO World Heritage ensemble. Eight individual monuments sit within just a few square kilometers, a concentration that is rare in Europe.
