Thank you Sarah!

Sarah lives in Cologne and

she writes that their Christmas markets have opened

and the smell of hot wine punch and roasted almounds is everywhere.

Weihnachtsmarkt am Kölner Dom
Weihnachtsmarkt, the Christmas market situated in the shadow of Cologne Cathedral’s impressive twin spires, is easily the most impressive of the city’s eight seasonal markets. Over 160 stalls showcase a host of gifts, many of which are handmade by artisans while you watch. Keep warm while wandering with a mug of hot mulled wine, served in hand-painted Christmas cups, or satisfy a sweet tooth at one of the many confectionery stalls found in the square.

 Kölnin Tuomiokirkko on kaupungin kuuluisin maamerkki ja nähtävyys. Goottilaistyylisen katedraalin rakentaminen aloitettiin 1200-luvulla ja se valmistui vasta 600 vuotta myöhemmin 1800-luvulla. Valmistuessaan vuonna 1880 tuomiokirkko oli maailman korkein rakennus. Kirkon kaksoistornit ovat 157  metriä korkeita.

Toisen maailmansodan pommituksissa kirkkoon osui palopommeja 14 otteeseen. Entistäminen alkoi nopeasti sodan jälkeen ja vuonna 1956 katedraali oli taas käytössä.

Vuonna 1996 kirkko valittiin maailmanperintökohteeksi.
