Imagine standing in the shadow of the Cologne Cathedral, its twin towers piercing the sky. This masterpiece of Gothic architecture, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1996, took over six centuries to complete. Its stained-glass windows, intricate sculptures, and soaring vaults evoke a sense of awe and wonder.
