Since 2018, the architectural monuments of our UNESCO World Heritage Sites have been the focus of the Illuminale. Following the Imperial Baths, the cathedral, the Church of Our Lady, and the Porta Nigra, the Basilica of Constantine will reveal new facets of itself through a large video mapping this year.
The Electoral Palace and parts of the Palace Gardens will also be part of the event site. On the open space between the medieval city wall and the east wing of the palace, the City Campus will open its pavilions, which will present exciting research questions and current projects as a marketplace for science. The collaboration between the Illuminale and the City Campus, under the motto “Knowledge creates light” since 2014, offers visitors a unique opportunity not only to immerse themselves in the art and culture scene of their city, but also to experience the university location of Trier in a new light.
