Brandenburg Gate:
If you are wondering
which landmark of
Germany is the true
symbol of the country,
and what should be
seen in Germany first
of all, then you should
definitely
see
the
Brandenburg
Gate.
This
is
a
truly
legendary
building,
impressive in its size,
architecture
and
symbolizing the most
important milestones
in the history of the
country.
The
gates
represent an almost
complete copy of the
Propylaea arch on the
Parthenon.

Cologne Cathedral:
At the highest point of
the Cathedral Hill in
Cologne
is
a
true
masterpiece of Gothic
architecture - Cologne
Cathedral. It is officially
referred
to
as
the
Cathedral of Saints Peter
and Mary. The mere
appearance
of
this
cathedral causes genuine
admiration.
The
architecture
of
the
majestic building seems
to be woven from a lace
of stone towers, columns
and pilasters, united in a
single
architectural
composition. And the
general shape of the
building, when viewed
from above, is made in
the form of a Latin cross.
