TOURIST ATTRACTIONS & SIGHTSEEING, PRACTICAL INFORMATION
The imposing tower of the Great Saint Martin Church, also called Gross St Martin, watches over the crossroads in the Altstadt of Cologne. This Roman Catholic church was first home to an abbey founded by Benedictine monks. Steeped in history, the church of Great Saint Martin Church, with its clover-leaf choir, still bears witness to the Hohenstaufen period. Built between 1151 and 1240, the church has remained a part of the Cologne Old Town skyline since the Middle Ages. The quarter around the church is called the Martinsviertel.
