Roman Bridge in Trier

The Roman Bridge over the Moselle River is an ancient structure located in Trier, Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. It is the oldest bridge in Germany and has not been destroyed.

The nine supports of the bridge belong to the II century AD. The upper part of the bridge was restored twice, at the beginning of the XII century and at the beginning of the XVIII century, after which it was destroyed as a result of military operations.

The pillars of the Roman Bridge, built of monolithic concrete and lined with volcanic stone, withstood repeated bombings, including charges laid by the French army. Today there is a road on the Roman Bridge.
