Architecture sights in Cologne

  1. A

    Kölner Dom

    Cologne's geographical and spiritual heart - and its single-biggest tourist draw - is the magnificent Kölner Dom. With its soaring twin spires, this is the Mt Everest of cathedrals, jam-packed with art and treasures. Its loftiness and dignified ambience leave only the most jaded of visitors untouched.

    Gross St Martin

    Winning top honours for most handsome exterior is Gross St Martin, whose ensemble of four slender turrets grouped around a central spire towers above Fischmarkt in the Altstadt. Its striking clover-leaf choir is an architectural feature pioneered by St Maria im Kapitol.

    St Ursula

    The church of St Ursula stands atop the Roman graveyard where the virgins' remains were allegedly found. In the 17th century, the richly ornamented baroque Goldene Kammer was built to house their relics.
