Cologne Cathedral

The following day, the temperature plummeted, and our companion the rain was back!

However, Cologne Cathedral, and the archeological museum, are very close to the station, so we didn't get too wet.

This fabulous gold reliquary contains the bones of two saints, and was a focus for pilgrimage in medieval times. It has depictions of various events in the life of Jesus, but is particularly noted for that of the visit of the Magi.
