Cologne Picture - Buildings near the old Fishmarket

James Martin
Along the Altstadt (old town) Rhine promenade you'll find some of Cologne's oldest houses, many now serving as bars and restaurants. Behind them is Gross St. Martin, an 11th century church that, along with the Cathedral, dominates Cologne's skyline. I enjoyed the inside of this church, as it has many elements added during the ages, so you can trace the history of the building.

Next we'll pull back a bit and head toward the nearby river.
