From the awe-inspiring spectacle of the Holy Rock to the quiet defiance of medieval merchants, you will discover how faith was used as a tool of absolute power, as a trigger for bourgeois rebellion, and as a deeply intimate anchor for the human soul. Come with me and uncover the hidden tensions woven into the stones of Trier.
