These are some old Roman ruins beneath the Cologne City Hall. The fortifications had originally been destroyed by an earthquake.
This is also an old Roman tunnel that was connected to the ruins pictured above.
A view of the front of the church from the outside. It is quite a daunting building, and is still the most imposing structure in the area. It's hard to believe that this made it through WWII relatively unscathed. There were pictures of the surrounding area just after WWII was over and every other building for miles was completely demolished.
