Scenes of the City
Index - Europe
October 2019
Our 4th visit to Cologne allowed us time to explore the streets of the city
and see the sights from a new perspective
There are many Roman ruins
being uncovered

A diagram of the Roman city wall is at right

The Roman Gate currently in the front of the Cathedral
The legend of the elves
City Hall was built to resemble a church tower
The Church of St Martin

The city museum still closed for repairs
Relaxing with a local beer
During WWII the Cathedral suffered peripheral
damage because of its proximity to the
train station and its bridge over the Rhine
The train station today
