Cologne Cathedral, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is one of the most iconic landmarks in Germany. Its construction began in the 13th century and was completed over 600 years later, resulting in a structure that embodies the spiritual and cultural aspirations of the medieval period. The cathedral’s twin spires, among the tallest in the world, dominate the skyline of Cologne, creating a striking silhouette against the horizon. Inside, the vast nave and the stunning stained glass windows create a sense of awe and reverence. The cathedral is also home to the Shrine of the Three Kings, a golden reliquary said to contain the remains of the Magi. Cologne Cathedral is a symbol of faith and resilience, having survived wars and natural disasters, and continues to inspire visitors with its timeless beauty.
