The Porta Nigra in Trier Germany is a second century Gate to Trier in the Roman Wall during Roman times. It was a home for St. Simeon, a hermit monk from 1028 to 1035 where he lived in a small cell and was fed through a hole so as to give him total prayer. After his life it became a part of a church in his memory for many hundreds of years until Napoleon destroyed the church in 1803 and this revealed the Porta Nigra. The gate itself was rebuilt thereafter as a memorial. Note the intrepid tourist, Anne Marie, standing before the Porta Nigra.
