Cologne: the Gorgeous Cathedral and the Surroundings (2022)

Português:
Visitar Colônia-Alemanha é quase sinônimo de ir à sua impressionante catedral. Monumento mundialmente conhecido; é a igreja de São Pedro. Segue alguns dados obtidos na internet. Começou a ser construída em 1248; essa construção durou muito tempo e seu projeto, medieval, só foi totalmente terminado em 1880. Seu estilo é o gótico e é o monumento alemão mais visitado, com uma média de 20 mil visitantes por dia. Tem 157 metros de altura e é a segunda igreja mais alta da Europa. Neste folder há fotografias da sua parte externa e algumas do seu interior. Fotografias, a partir da ponte metálica sobre o rio Reno, também são apresentadas. Há também tomadas de locais por onde passamos, como a cidade antiga, seus restaurantes e a estação central de trens. Algumas poucas fotos antigas, de 1978, também são apresentadas. Colônia é uma cidade alegre e tivemos a oportunidade - e sorte - de estarmos presentes no dia do início do seu carnaval (folder exclusivo sobre o tema é também aqui proposto).

English:
Visiting Cologne (Koln) in Germany means to contemplate its amazing cathedral. It is the Saint Peter church and a worldwide known monument. Some data from the net are now presented. Its construction started in 1278 and it took a very long time to be achieved; it reached its original medieval project only by 1880. It is 157 meters tall and the second tallest church in Europe. The cathedral is the most visited monument in Germany with around 20 thousand visitors a day. In this gallery, there are some pictures taken at the external and internal parts of the cathedral. Some photos, taken from the iron train bridge over the Rhine river, are included. There are some pictures of the old town, its restaurants and the central train station. Also, some few old pictures, taken in 1978 are presented. Koln is a very vivid town and it was nice to be there. We were lucky since the carnival (11/11) started when we arrived. This particular subject is proposed in another gallery.
