Situated on the river Rhine in northwestern Germany, Cologne is the fourth largest city of the country with more than 1.000.000 inhabitants. During World War II, the Old Town of Cologne was nearly completely destroyed. After the war, the city centre has been successfully rebuilded and many historic buildings have been restored. Cologne Cathedral is the best example of the precious work of reconstruction operated after the war. The cathedral is regarded as a masterwork of medieval Gothic architecture and is considered as one of the finest ecclesiastical edifices in the world. Cologne offers innumerable historical and cultural treasures. Cologne has one of the world’s best collections of museums and galleries for a city of its size. So while in Cologne, take the opportunity to visit Lugwig Museum, the most famous museum of Cologne.
