The soul of Medieval Trier, this marketplace was laid out in the 10th century after the previous one was ransacked during a Viking raid a few decades earlier.The three-metre market cross was erected to commemorate this event in 958 and has a Carolingian capital, while its column was used as a pillory for public punishments from the 13th century on.On the south side is the Renaissance Petrusbrunnen, dating to 1595 and topped with a statue of Trierââ¬â¢s patron saint Peter.
