The Porta Nigra is the best-preserved Roman city gate north of the Alps, four storeys high and open to climb; the Imperial Baths keep tall brick walls above a network of service tunnels you can walk through; the amphitheatre, built for about 20,000 people, still has the cellar where animals and prisoners waited beneath the arena.
