Description
(Local Name: Köln Dom) Near the left bank of the Rhine stands Cologne's towering landmark, the Cathedral of St Peter and St Mary, a masterpiece of High Gothic architecture and one of the largest cathedrals in Europe. Begun in 1248, it was the most ambitious building project of the Middle Ages, but work came to a halt at the beginning of the 16th C, and the cathedral was not completed until 1842-80.

The two cathedral towers are the second highest in the world, with a height of 515 feet.
