Romans' Northern Gate

A great spot to take a picture. Also a good reminder that we are standing on the same spot where Romans were 2000 years ago!

A reminder that the Romans were here! Between the Cathedral and the tourist information office (a few metres from both). OK, a secondary attraction, but given everyone goes to the Cathedral ...

Part of old Roman Cologne. All that's left is the stone frame of a gateway the size of a doorway. The gate is in the Cathedral area, but otherwise don't go out the way to visit. There's not much to see.

The still visible remains of the Roman north gate on the Domplatte were originally part of the Roman city wall, which was then located at this place. Here, the inner-city cardo maximus began. In 1971, a replica of the gate part was erected on the cathedral plate as a freely accessible showpiece and immediately became a tourist attraction. The original of the middle arch with the initials of Cologne as Roman Colonia (CCAA) is exhibited in the Roman Germanic Museum.

Roman gate near by cologn cathedral. On the side of Domplatz [Cathedral Square] there is an ancient structure vaguely reminiscent of what was once a Roman wall. Built in the days of the Roman Empire, a symbolic gate now stands in its place.

Small piece standing, of a much greater construction. Still a nice piece to look at.

This is a part of the Roman city gate from the original city wall in Cologne from 50 AD.
