Der Kölner Dom – A Kölni Dóm

Two weeks ago I traveled to Bonn, and on the way back I got on the train in Cologne Main Train Station (Köln Hauptbahnhof). Since I had plenty of time, I had a chance to look around in the Dom. It is a marvelous building, its 157 meters tall towers stand firmly and you can’t even grasp the whole building from the square next to it. While walking and gazing I realized I didn’t have enough time to see all the details, but I managed to get some pictures to share.
