Quest'anno con amici e mia sorella, ho festeggiato Capodanno a Colonia. Mi sono fermata alcuni giorni e sono rimasta affascinata dalla bellezza di questa città che è la più grande della regione di Nordrhein-Westfalen, situata sul Reno. Colonia era già abitata dai romani ("Colonia Agrippiniensium") che hanno lasciato dei monumenti importanti nella città. Oggi è uno dei centri industriali più importanti della Germania occidentale. È stata gravemente distrutta durante l'ultima guerra. Colonia ha una famosa e antica università fondata nel XIV secolo, oggi è una delle più grandi della Germania. Durante la dominazione romana, Colonia fu circondata da una alta cinta muraria, che potesse risultare efficace nel difendere la città dagli attacchi esterni. Le mura furono grandemente ampliate tra il X e il XIII secolo, ed è a quel periodo che si ascrive la costruzione della Hahnentorburg. Eretta probabilmente tra il 1235 e il 1240, la più monumentale delle dodici torri che segnavano l'accesso alla città vecchia, è divenuta nel tempo uno dei simboli cittadini, ed è stata risparmiata dalle demolizioni di fine XIX secolo. La città è dominata dal duomo, una imponente costruzione gotica che da sola basterebbe già a rendere Colonia una meta turistica di prim'ordine .Al suo interno, in un sarcofago d'oro sono custodite le reliquie dei Re Magi.Queste erano custodite nella "Cappella dei Re Magi" nella Chiesa di sant'Eustorgio a Milano ed il Barbarossa le fece trasferire a Colonia ne 1164. Solo agli inizi del XX secolo Milano riuscì ad ottenere una parte di quello che le era stato tolto: il 3 gennaio del 1904, infatti, il cardinal Ferrari, Arcivescovo di Milano, fece solennemente ricollocare alcuni frammenti ossei delle spoglie dei Re Magi (due fibule, una tibia e una vertebra), offerti dall'Arcivescovo di Colonia Fischer, in Sant'Eustorgio. Furono posti in un'urna di bronzo accanto all'antico sacello vuoto con la scritta Sepulcrum Trium Magorum (tomba dei tre Magi). Proprio accanto al duomo: il Museo romano-germanico che dà un'idea della vita quotidiana di 2000 anni fa e il Ludwig, uno dei più importanti musei di arte moderna e contemporanea. Ma a Colonia ci sono molti altri importanti musei e circa 120 gallerie d'arte. La gente di Colonia è nota per l'allegria e il loro carnevale, insieme a quello della vicina Düsseldorf e quello di Mainz (Magonza), attira ogni anno più di un milione di visitatori da tutta la Germania. Durante una passeggiata nel centro bisogna anche assaggiare la birra tipica della città, il "Kölsch". Partendo da Colonia, ci sono molte possibilità di fare gite in battello sul Reno. A me è piaciuta moltissimo, ho fotografato di tutto e di più, la città merita, e mi propongo di tornarci. Critiche e commenti sempre super graditi. Grazie. Ringrazio l'amico Massimo Schiavi che mi ha suggerito di completare la didascalia, aggiungendo per maggior conoscenza che i resti dei re Magi erano custodite nella chiesa di Sant'Eustorgio a Milano.

Max, thanks for the suggestion to add to the caption, the news that the Magi were first kept in the church of Sant'Eustorgio. I have already done and thank you to the heart, for the attention and time you dedicate to me.
A dear greeting

interesting shot: -o
It reminds me of the looming cathedral (kind memento mori), aseptic streets but with many homeless people who searched for food in dumpsters. Seventies memories: surely things will change for the better.
I do not understand why we have not attempted to reconstruct, at least in part, the city as it was before (see Danzig, but also in Bologna historic parts destroyed by bombing) :-)

Piergiovanni P, have changed a lot. The Duomo area is very elegant. Failure to rebuild is certainly a serious flaw. If you have time, take it easy, Piergiovanni, it is really a very nice city, now. Thanks for the comment articulated, and very welcome step.
A dear greeting
Annamaria :-P
