Wiki :- "During His Visit To Trier In 1804, Napoleon Ordered That The Porta Nigra Should Be Converted Back To Its Roman Form. Only The Apse Was Kept, And The Eastern Tower Not Rebuilt To Its Original Height. Local Legend Has It That Napoleon Originally Even Wanted To Completely Tear Down The Church; Allegedly, Locals Convinced Him That The Church Had Actually Been A Gallic Festival Hall Before Being Turned Into A Church (In Another Version, They Simply Told Him About Its Roman Origins); It Is Claimed That This Prevented The Destruction Of The Building And Persuaded Napoleon Instead To Convert The Gate Back To Its Original Form."
