This historic section of the city once stood as a part of the walled fortifications of Cologne. A great symbol of the history and culture of this great location. Excellent photo opportunity. Today, it houses the Feminist Museum and archives.

CITY SOUTH. This historic and lovely site in the south of the city was once part of the wall that protected the city from invasion. Later, it would house a windmill and a large stone tower. A symbol of the rich heritage of the city and the region.

This is one of the most important sites in Cologne ­ and, in fact, the world ­ as it stands in the very heart of the city. The massive church has roots dating back to the eighth century and has been an integral part of the city's history. The massive structure is both beautiful and awe-inspiring. The interior features a range of historic and religious artifacts. For the adventurous, walk to the top of the spire and look over the city. The climb is a definite workout, but the views of Cologne and the Rhine warrant the effort. Truly a must-see for anyone in the city.

This centrally located former government center is a must-see for the attractive Renaissance architecture and the surrounding old city buildings. The building dates from the 16th century and is a central part of a walk from the impressive Dom to the Fish Markets and the majestic Rhine River. Tours are available.

Another of Cologne's beautiful and historic churches. Locals consider this religious site second in importance only to the great Dom. The church's original sections date from the fourth century. The main church building features interesting architectural flourishes. Don't miss the gorgeous stained glass windows that adorn the building's upper sections.
